4 Reasons Why You Need Train The Trainer Certification.

You came across the role of a corporate trainer, your dream job in a well-established company and since you meet all the requirements, you update your applications and send them.  You are called for an interview and asked to present the original credentials. You are asked if you are a certified trainer since you only have experience without a certificate, you miss the opportunity.

This is among the worst scenarios that many candidates experience when looking for a job. I interacted with an interviewer who informed me about a candidate named Brian who had a nice CV, relevant skills, and experiences but didn’t provide a certificate that proved that he was a certified trainer. The candidates had been requested to carry the original certificates and those who didn’t present during the interview were not considered for the role.

I interact with many professionals via social media platforms daily and I find many questions for example “Is the TOT certificate worth my investment? How can I get a TOT certificate? Or how can I prove to employers that I have TOT skills when I don’t have a certificate?”

Having a certification acquired through the Training of Trainers Certificate Course in Kenya means you have learned the fundamentals of training and you have the knowledge and the skills that will make you a great trainer.

In this article, I will highlight the benefits of the train the trainer certificate.

1. It Is An Essential Requirement

Most of the jobs that we advertise at CSS require some form of recognized training qualification which is the same case to training roles.

For instance, in Brian’s case, he was not considered for a role because he didn’t have a certificate that proved that he was a recognized trainer.

A certificate is essential in the hiring process and it ensures that you maintain a high level of knowledge and skill in your profession. It also shows that you are committed to advancing your career by mastering your skills and knowledge in your field.

2. You Will Learn To Handle The Unexpected

As a trainer, you will always encounter unexpected for example, unforeseen questions or interruptions during the training which requires you to have a certain skill.

I had a conversation with one of the corporate trainers who had enrolled in TOT course and what made him attend the training was to develop his skills that would set him up for success. He interacted with experienced trainers and learnt from then as he widened his knowledge.

3. You Will Understand The Full Training Cycle

“Taking a TOT certificate course was one of the best decisions that I made early this year because the training was tailored to my needs, and I discovered the importance of research analysis before the training. I understood how to deliver effective training in a structured manner” Said Joel, a professional who was trained at CSS.

During the TOT training, the focus is on the areas of the training cycle, delivery skills, and how to evaluate the audience needs that will be addressed through training objectives.

4. You Will Develop Your Unique Training Style

Certain elements need to be followed for you to be an effective trainer and achieve your training objectives.

During the training, you will understand different styles of training delivery and identify the one that best suits you.

Finally

Before you train other people, it is important to develop your skills and earn certification because the clients will trust you and you will become more confident when discharging your services as a trainer.
