This course is one half of NESHTA’s Designing and Delivering Effective Training workshop, which conforms to and references the new ANSI standard, Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health and Environmental Training.

This workshop and its practical exercises deliver the basic knowledge and skills you will need to become a dynamic and effective trainer. It will show how people learn differently and teach techniques and strategies that you can implement to help your audience understand and learn. Subjects to be covered are:
- Adult learner training

- Instructional media
- Delivery of instruction
