As organizations strive to get the most out of their current workforce and build the next generation of talent, it is increasingly important to have outstanding facilitators who can help employees and leaders excel with their current responsibilities while also being prepared for future opportunities. The most successful and competitive organizations know how important it is to be committed to ongoing facilitator training and development.
Our Facilitation Skills for Trainers workshop provides people who deliver training or instruction with the tools and strategies they need to engage learners and maximize the effectiveness of their training programs. It is the ideal solution for training managers, subject-matter experts, new and/or experienced instructors, or anyone else in the organization who is involved in facilitating the learning and development of others and needs to have advanced facilitation skills.
The learning experience offered in our facilitator training focuses on improving a facilitator’s ability to:
- Evaluate training needs
- Engage learners
- Introduce concepts and skills
- Support people in the development of critical skill sets
- Assist participants with creating application plans that will ultimately lead to greater success on the job and drive results for the organization.
This program builds on the facilitator’s current skills and strengths and explores practical tools and techniques to address opportunities for improvement. It is designed to energize facilitators and help them discover strategies to make training programs more dynamic, interactive, and practical for their audiences.

Our Approach To Facilitator Training
In the Facilitation Skills for Trainers workshop, we draw on our 40 years of experience in the learning and development industry as we help facilitators develop and hone their ability to be more effective in their roles and responsibilities. CMOE facilitators also use their expertise and experience to model and demonstrate the desired skills and techniques.
One of the hallmarks of the Facilitation Skills for Trainers workshop is its ability to help facilitators draw on their natural strengths and identify opportunities to build on their current approach in a way that is relevant to their unique facilitation style. Participants learn by practicing new skills during live or video-recorded simulations where facilitators showcase their skills in a genuine training experience. Through immediate feedback and review, participants develop the skills necessary to take their skills to the next level. Other exercises and design elements are built into the workshop to address the specific needs of the audience and to increase the facilitators’ focus and awareness of the things they need to be doing to ensure learning transfer and results in the organization.
