Helping your trainers engage your learners and improve outcomes

Endurance Learning’s Train the Trainer sessions will help transform your team from subject matter experts into trainers & facilitators that lead highly engaging workshops.

Experts who know the content

Training materials

Train-the-Trainer to supercharge both!

Your organization is full of people who have deep expertise and may even enjoy talking about it. You probably designed training materials that cover every bit of content to ensure that each trainer has all the resources they need. You kick off your training initiative and expect to see great results. But do you actually see great results?

Expecting your subject matter experts to pick up training materials and instantly become great facilitators who adeptly lead a training workshop is unfair to them and the learners.

Offering experts an opportunity to understand the mechanics behind training design and delivery and practice facilitation techniques will supercharge your training sessions and improve the learning experience.

The Endurance Learning team is ready to empower your trainers!

Our team is ready to deliver a train-the-trainer session to help you get the most out of your training session and facilitators.

Our sessions are designed to be used for trainers who have to deliver in person, virtually or both!

Train-the-Trainer Sessions that Lead to Change

I had the privilege of attending a 2-part conference session for early childhood trainers on training design and facilitation led by Brian Washburn. It was an eye-opening experience that has changed the way I approach training. Inspired by the techniques and principles Brian presented, I transformed my own conference session (which was the following morning!) from a lecture-heavy, PowerPoint-focused training to a discussion-based, chart paper-using, idea-flying learning experience. I can honestly say the work done with Brian that day had more of an impact on my training style than any other single training I’ve attended, and many of my colleagues would say the same.

As a global health organization, we invest heavily in both the development of high-quality curricula based on adult learning principles to provide direct training to healthcare providers across the world, and to build the capacity development of our staff to be skilled and confident facilitators for in-person and virtual training experiences. Brian has been an incredible mentor to our facilitation staff, creating a safe environment where critical thinking and facilitation skill building has been a cornerstone. Staff have reported improved confidence and understanding of learning and development principles, facilitation techniques, and best practices in adult learning environments.

Brian and Tim, without question, completely changed our paradigm with their How Adults Learn training. These are the most critically important principles that I've learned in my 25 years of teaching, training, and developing leaders. Additionally, their instructions on how to facilitate training as opposed to delivering information was one of the greatest "Aha!" moments of my professional life. It would be impossible to overstate the value of Endurance Learning's contribution to Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, because their influence extends far beyond the CMTS program they created. The ideas and principles we learned from Brian and Tim are reshaping our existing training curriculum and they are guiding how we will develop new content. Simply put, Endurance Learning is the best in the business, and you will not find any company with more personable professionals than Brian Washburn and Tim Waxenfelter.
