"My favorite takeaways were watching Peggy effortlessly move the class from one activity to the other, injecting fun into training and the tiny details that Peggy went into to get us thinking about every aspect of facilitation. I would definitely love to attend another program."
Kristina Davis
"I would recommend this program because it is very interactive, and the instructor puts you in the same environment as your participants would be in. This is beneficial because you don't just talk about what to do; you experience it as well. My favorite takeaways would have to be: You can't teach someone, but you can help them learn, along with many effective ways to get your participants engaged in the information."
Shawn Roby
"The real-life experiences discussed by the facilitator and the open discussion among course participants provided a personal touch to the program. The materials are easy to follow and provide a great reference point for future review. I would recommend the Train the Trainer program to anyone who is getting started in the training field and also to anyone who needs a refresher course. It provided a great foundation of knowledge that allows the participants to take it offline and choose where they need to expand their knowledge."
