Public Train-the-Trainer Workshop Phoenix, AZ (2027 Dates)
Whether you are new to training and have recently been given training responsibilities or are looking for ways to improve your current training skills, this TrainSMART’s 3-day Train-the-Trainer Course in Phoenix, AZ is for you!
By investing in this workshop you will learn essential skills to transfer knowledge in a way that is effective, engaging, and educational.
We’ve all been to training sessions that are dull, boring, and lecture-oriented. While the trainer may know the topic, they may not know how to deliver information. Make sure you are not one of those trainers! This fun, interactive workshop will provide you with the platform skills and the confidence you need to design, develop and deliver dynamic training that sticks!
Using a topic of your choice, you will learn how to create a training plan that moves simply from one topic to the next, understand the development process and how to incorporate activities that increase participation and understanding, manage classroom challenges, and utilize facilitation skills that make learning both educational and fun!
The final day will culminate in a recorded practice session with feedback and coaching from the participants and the facilitator.
Why Choose TrainSMART’s Train-the-Trainer Course?
Train-the-Trainer Is a Core TrainSMART Capability
TrainSMART specializes in developing trainers, facilitators, and Subject Matter Experts who are responsible for teaching others.
Our facilitators bring experience in both instructional design and training delivery, so participants learn not only how to present information, but how to design learning that is relevant, engaging, and effective.
TrainSMART’s program covers the full training process — from understanding the audience and developing objectives to facilitation, participant engagement, evaluation, and delivery.
Independently Certified by the International Board of Certified Trainers
TrainSMART’s three-day Train-the-Trainer program is certified by the International Board of Certified Trainers (IBCT).
The program was reviewed against IBCT’s professional competencies and training standards, rather than being certified solely by TrainSMART.
Completion of the TrainSMART program fulfills the professional education component that serves as the first step toward applicable IBCT trainer certification.
Practice Your Skills and Receive Real Feedback
TrainSMART’s Train-the-Trainer course is designed around application, not just theory.
Throughout the workshop, participants apply adult-learning principles, instructional-design methods, facilitation techniques, and engagement strategies to their own training content.
On Day 3, each participant delivers a short training session and receives structured feedback from the facilitator and fellow participants.

I attended the 3-days Train the Trainer program and it is perfect for anyone just starting out it also has information that benefits anyone in the training career. Elana did an amazing job presenting the information and formatting the class so everyone could learn. She was very helpful in providing advice to guide us in each of our different training careers. I would recommend anyone who is just starting out as a trainer to attend their program, great information!
Mary Turner
I attended all three days of the Train the Trainer program. First I thought the training was very useful.
The presenter, Michelle, was very professional. She obviously knew this course and its content very well. The training was well planned and moved very smoothly through each subject. In my opinion, she did a very good job of presenting this training. She made sure she addressed each of us on an individual basis. Helping each of us with our projects. I was very engaged during the training and I never had a moment during the training that I wasn’t interested in the subject matter. Everyone in the class received training material that I could later use to help me create and present my own training presentation. I would recommend this training to anyone interested in improving or learning for the first time to create and present their own training.
Larry Bonner
Excellent, excellent training! The instructor Michelle Allegretti and the course content are beyond words! The training is priceless because it was tailored to where we are and what our aspirations are as individuals and for our team. We have been able to utilize what we learned immediately – so the learning was indeed “sticky”! I can’t wait to see what other training might be coming our way from this fantastic training company.
