The ThinkTree Accredited Trainer Programme

If you currently deliver (or are about to start delivering) your own professional training courses, sessions or workshops, this ThinkTree online learning programme offers the perfect route to your first professional training qualification!

We believe this is the most comprehensive, personally tailored, cost effective and initial training qualification you can study in the UK at the present time!

This innovative, entirely online course, blends on-demand modules with face to face teaching, learning and assessment. It showcases the most important high impact professional training principles you should be embedding into your own training practices and provides you with the opportunity to evaluate your current performance and create a personal action plan of targeted improvements, whilst all the time being coached by your own highly qualified and experienced professional teacher.

At the end of this course you will be able to:

1. Identify essential secure training practices and basic learning science principles

2. Recognise and anticipate the needs of diverse student groups and develop a toolkit of strategies and techniques which help you induct, welcome and begin their learning journey with you.

3. Review and prioritise specific theories that will complement your current training and delivery model. These should embed easily and offer high impact solutions for potential weaknesses you recognise or anticipate within your own course/s.

4. Evaluate the most significant assessment and feedback methods currently embedded within your own course/s, recognising key strengths, weaknesses and specific improvement opportunities.

No formal exams or time-controlled practical assessments are used on this course, you simply register and then engage independently with the syllabus / lessons in sequence at a time and place convenient to you. We recommend completing this programme within four weeks.

There are four assessment points on the programme, one at the end of each module:

Assessment 1 and 3 are automated online multiple-choice test (80% pass rate required)

Assessment 2 and 4 are embedded within two professional coaching discussions that you will attend online with your personal learning coach. As well as guiding, advising and supporting your development, each coach will check that you have written a meaningful personal action plan of targeted improvements and confirm your reasoning behind these judgements.

Although you may watch the online video lessons and read the documents and information on your smartphone / tablet, to really make the most of this course you should have access to a desktop computer, laptop and printer! The documents and templates you will download, save and use are produced using Microsoft Word.

To participate in the live video conference style online coaching sessions, you will need to use a webcam / microphone enabled computer, laptop tablet or smartphone. You will also need to communicate through an active email address.

This online course could be completed within twelve hours, (6 per week) although potentially longer if you spend extensive time reflecting, typing and working on your own professional training action plans.

This is a ThinkTree accredited qualification, just complete all the assessments successfully and you will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement which you can download, save and print. Make sure to write and spell your full name correctly when registering onto the online course, as your name will be copied exactly onto your new certificate.

We realise that on occasion, there may be some personal or work-related pressures that impact on your ability to complete the necessary study in advance of the planned weekly coaching meetings. In these exceptional circumstances and by mutual agreement, a ‘repeat’ coaching milestone meeting can be arranged at week 3.
