Cost-effectiveness: It is much less costly to send one expert trainer to train internal subject matter experts, than hiring a large unit of external trainers to deliver every single training session within the organisation.Let’s inspect see what are the other benefits that make the train-the-trainer model a frequently used approach in the learning and development industry. Also, becoming an internal trainer and picking up new competencies is a great professional development opportunity for the people involved.

The core advantage of the Train-the-Trainer model is its effectiveness to teach new skills and knowledge to a wide range of people within an organisation by involving internal resources to scale training delivery. This approach was first applied in NGOs and non-profit organizations and since then enterprises picked it up and applied it to their learning and development programs. The expected outcome is that attendees learn the new knowledge or skill, and they will instruct further batches of people in the organisation. In other words: A group of employees receive a compact training program that focuses both on specific training content and on how to teach this training content to others.įor example, a subject matter expert trainer trains a select group of employees on meeting facilitation skills and simultaneously teaches them how to train other colleagues on how to run effective meetings. Train-the-Trainer is a framework for training potential instructors or subject matter experts to enable them to train other people in their organisations.
