What Past Participants Are Saying…
Excellent training. It provided a lot of useful tools to improve my delivery skills. The format of presenting and recording each session provided unrepresented real-time feedback that I used as constructive feedback. I highly recommend sending your employees to take this training if you want to be effective when delivering training.

TrainSMART delivered an excellent training course on Train the Trainer. It was exactly what we asked for and more than what we expected. I highly recommend using TrainSMART for your next training course. Anna Filas was knowledgeable about the topics covered and provided excellent feedback for our trainers. We will be reaching out to them again in the future for training needs.
Stephanie Whittenburg
I learned so much about myself during the Train the Trainer class. The exercises taught me the most. It was beneficial to have the video of the various presentations I made so that I could view myself while presenting and tweak my presentation skills and classroom interaction professionally with the help of the training facilitator. The instructor truly “facilitated” my learning. I highly recommend this company for your training needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in TrainSMART’s Nashville Train-the-Trainer workshop?
TrainSMART’s Nashville Train-the-Trainer workshop is an interactive, three-day, instructor-led program designed to help participants become more confident and effective trainers and facilitators. Participants learn how to design, develop, deliver, manage, and evaluate training while applying adult-learning principles and proven instructional design methods. The program includes hands-on activities, practice opportunities, peer interaction, and a final training presentation for participants.
Who should attend the Train-the-Trainer workshop in Nashville?
The Nashville workshop is designed for professionals who plan, create, or deliver training. It is appropriate for both new and experienced trainers, including subject-matter experts asked to train others, corporate trainers, facilitators, training managers, instructional designers, HR and L&D professionals, and employees taking on new training responsibilities. TrainSMART’s facilitator guide notes that the program is intended for people who need skills in the design, development, and delivery of training.
What will I learn during the three-day Nashville Train-the-Trainer course?
Participants learn how to apply adult-learning principles, understand their audience, use instructional design models, write performance-based learning objectives, select appropriate instructional strategies, improve facilitation and communication skills, engage participants, manage challenging classroom situations, and facilitate both in-person and virtual learning. The curriculum also covers training evaluation, questioning and listening skills, presentation techniques, participant motivation, and instructional activities.
Is TrainSMART’s Train-the-Trainer program internationally certified?
Yes. TrainSMART’s three-day Train-the-Trainer program is certified by the International Board of Certified Trainers (IBCT). Completion of the three days of training satisfies the professional education requirement in the IBCT Certified Trainer certification process. Participants who want the IBCT credential must also complete the separate IBCT application and meet the applicable certification requirements.
What happens on Day 3 of the Nashville Train-the-Trainer workshop?
Day 3 is focused heavily on application. Participants prepare and deliver a short training session using the techniques they have practiced during the workshop. The session gives participants an opportunity to apply their instructional design, facilitation, engagement, and delivery skills while receiving feedback. The TrainSMART curriculum culminates with participant presentations and the final project/wrap-up.
What makes TrainSMART’s Nashville Train-the-Trainer workshop different from other Train-the-Trainer courses?
TrainSMART emphasizes practice rather than lecture. Participants work with real training situations, apply instructional design concepts, practice facilitation techniques, and receive feedback throughout the program. The curriculum covers both the design and delivery sides of training, including adult learning, instructional design, audience analysis, classroom facilitation, virtual training, participant engagement, and evaluation. The course is also independently certified by IBCT rather than simply being self-certified by TrainSMART.
How much does the Nashville Train-the-Trainer workshop cost?
The three-day Train-the-Trainer workshop is $2,200 per participant. The option that includes the IBCT certification process is $2,600 per participant. TrainSMART also offers a 10% discount for government agencies. For organizations sending several employees, it may also be worth comparing public workshop registration with a private Train-the-Trainer program for your organization.
Does TrainSMART offer private Train-the-Trainer training for Nashville-area companies?
Yes. Organizations that need to develop several internal trainers can choose a private Train-the-Trainer program instead of sending employees individually to the public Nashville workshop. Private programs can be delivered for an organizational group and provide greater opportunity to incorporate company-specific content, situations, terminology, and training requirements.
