“I recently completed my first TOT training. It was an affordable and incredibly well designed and thoughtful process, with emphasis on the Learning Approach. The pre-assessment and pre-work had us prepared to “dig in” to the training materials. It also allowed the participants to make the most out of the time we had together — Sharon (Training Manager – Leading NGO)

ToT Skills Testimonials
“I took this TOT certificate course to review my own practice in presenting sessions within my work. The course supported some aspects of my style and gave me more ideas to add to my presentation style. I would highly recommend this course to all presenters, trainers, as both the content and trainer are exceptional. The deliver in a way that really engages and makes you think about your own style of learning and presenting. The flexibility in delivery was a plus especially because at some point I had to travel for work. Thank you.– Stephen (Project Manager)

You Know Your Subject. But Can You Train Someone Else To Understand It?
This is where many professionals struggle.
You may have years of experience in HR, finance, project management, sales, engineering, healthcare, operations or another technical field.
Then one day you’re asked:
“Can you train the team on this?”
Suddenly, subject-matter expertise isn’t enough.
You have to figure out:
How do I structure the training?
Where do I start?
How much content should I include?
How do I explain complicated ideas simply?
How do I keep adults interested for several hours?
What activities should I use?
How do I handle someone who dominates the discussion?
What if participants don’t engage?
How do I answer a question I wasn’t expecting?
How do I know whether participants actually learnt anything?
And perhaps the biggest question:
How do I stand in front of experienced professionals and confidently facilitate the room?
These are not simply public-speaking skills.
They are training and facilitation skills.
And they can be learnt.
From Subject Matter Expert To Professional Trainer
A good trainer doesn’t simply stand in front of a room and talk.
They create an environment where people learn.
Imagine walking into your next training session knowing exactly:
- What participants need to learn.
- How you’ll structure the session.
- Which training methods you’ll use.
- How you’ll encourage participation.
- How you’ll explain difficult concepts.
- How you’ll manage different personalities.
- How you’ll keep participants engaged.
- How you’ll assess whether learning has taken place.
Instead of worrying:
“What am I going to say for the next three hours?”
You’re thinking:
“What do these participants need to be able to do differently after this session?”
That’s the shift from presenting information to facilitating learning.
What You’ll Learn In The Training of Trainers Course In Kenya
1. Understanding How Adults Learn
Adults don’t learn the same way children do.
They arrive in your training room with experience, opinions, expectations and existing knowledge.
Successful trainers understand how to work with that.
You’ll learn:
- Principles of adult learning.
- How adults retain information.
- Different learning preferences.
- How experience affects learning.
- How to make training relevant.
- How to encourage active participation.
- How to create a positive learning environment.
The goal is simple:
Stop teaching content. Start facilitating learning.
2. Conducting A Training Needs Assessment
One of the biggest training mistakes happens before anyone enters the classroom.
The trainer starts developing slides before understanding the problem.
You’ll learn how to establish:
What’s happening now?
What should be happening?
What’s causing the gap?
Can training actually solve it?
You’ll learn practical approaches to:
- Identify performance gaps.
- Conduct a training needs assessment.
- Interview managers and participants.
- Identify skills and knowledge gaps.
- Define the target audience.
- Prioritise learning needs.
- Translate business problems into training requirements.
Because sometimes the solution isn’t training.
A professional trainer should know the difference.
3. Developing Clear Learning Objectives
What should participants be able to do differently after your training?
That’s one of the most important questions in training design.
You’ll learn how to develop clear, measurable learning objectives that guide:
- Your content.
- Your activities.
- Your exercises.
- Your assessments.
- Your training evaluation.
Instead of:
“Participants will understand customer service.”
You’ll learn to define exactly what successful learning should look like.
4. Designing A Professional Training Programme
Once you understand the training need, how do you turn it into a structured programme?
You’ll learn how to develop:
- Course objectives.
- Training outlines.
- Session plans.
- Facilitator guides.
- Participant materials.
- Practical exercises.
- Case studies.
- Group activities.
- Assessments.
- Training schedules.
You’ll learn how to take a broad subject and turn it into a structured learning experience.
5. Facilitation Skills That Keep Adults Engaged
Nobody wants to spend an entire day listening to someone read PowerPoint slides.
Yet that’s exactly what happens in many training rooms.
Professional facilitation is different.
You’ll learn how to use:
- Group discussions.
- Case studies.
- Role plays.
- Demonstrations.
- Question-and-answer sessions.
- Individual exercises.
- Group exercises.
- Storytelling.
- Practical workplace scenarios.
You’ll also learn when not to use an activity simply because it’s entertaining.
Every training method should serve a learning purpose.
6. Presentation & Public Speaking Skills For Trainers
You may know your subject extremely well and still struggle to communicate it confidently.
You’ll learn practical techniques for:
- Managing nervousness.
- Opening a training session strongly.
- Speaking with confidence.
- Using your voice effectively.
- Using body language.
- Explaining complicated concepts simply.
- Using stories and examples.
- Asking effective questions.
- Handling silence.
- Maintaining participants’ attention.
- Closing sessions effectively.
The objective isn’t to turn you into a motivational speaker.
It’s to make you a credible and confident facilitator.
7. Designing Effective Training Presentations & Materials
PowerPoint should support your training.
It shouldn’t be your training.
You’ll learn how to create professional training materials that make information easier to understand rather than overwhelming participants with text.
You’ll cover:
- Structuring presentations.
- Designing effective slides.
- Using visuals appropriately.
- Creating participant handouts.
- Developing facilitator notes.
- Using charts and diagrams.
- Avoiding information overload.
- Integrating activities into your presentation.
8. Managing Difficult Participants & Training Situations
Eventually, every trainer encounters them.
The participant who talks too much.
The participant who challenges everything you say.
The senior employee who believes they already know the subject.
The quiet room where nobody answers questions.
The side conversations.
The person constantly checking their phone.
You’ll learn practical techniques for managing:
- Dominant participants.
- Disengaged participants.
- Difficult questions.
- Resistance.
- Disagreement.
- Side conversations.
- Different levels of experience.
- Low participation.
You’ll learn how to maintain control of the learning environment without embarrassing participants or becoming confrontational.
9. Assessing Whether Participants Have Actually Learnt
A full training room doesn’t automatically mean successful training.
Neither do smiling participants.
The important question is:
Did learning actually take place?
You’ll learn how to use:
- Pre-training assessments.
- Knowledge checks.
- Practical exercises.
- Quizzes.
- Observation.
- Participant demonstrations.
- Post-training assessments.
- Feedback forms.
You’ll also understand the difference between measuring whether participants liked the training and whether they actually learnt something.
10. Evaluating Training Impact
Your responsibility shouldn’t necessarily end when participants receive certificates.
Organisations increasingly want to know:
Did this training make a difference?
You’ll learn how to evaluate training at different levels, including:
- Participant reaction.
- Knowledge and skills acquired.
- Behaviour change.
- Workplace application.
- Performance improvement.
- Organisational results.
This becomes especially important if you’re responsible for L&D or selling training services to corporate clients.
11. Practice Facilitation: You Actually Train
You don’t become a trainer by simply learning about training.
You have to train.
During the programme, participants will have opportunities to prepare and facilitate training sessions.
You’ll receive practical feedback on areas such as:
- Structure.
- Confidence.
- Facilitation.
- Participant engagement.
- Questioning techniques.
- Presentation.
- Time management.
- Body language.
- Clarity of instruction.
This is where theory becomes skill.

Why Take Your Training of Trainers Course In Kenya With Corporate Staffing Services?
We’re Not Just A Training Institution
Corporate Staffing Services is an HR, recruitment and professional training firm.
We understand training from both sides.
We understand the professional who wants to develop their career.
And we understand the employer investing money in training and expecting improved performance.
That’s why our approach goes beyond:
“How do I deliver an interesting presentation?”
We also ask:
“What business or performance problem is this training supposed to solve?”
That distinction separates someone who can make presentations from someone who can design and facilitate professional workplace training.

That’s why the programme incorporates:
- Facilitation practice.
- Presentations.
- Role plays.
- Case studies.
- Group discussions.
- Training-design exercises.
- Workplace scenarios.
- Trainer feedback.
