Engineer Coaching Skills Training, Coaching and Assessing Skills

We provide a range of training courses which provide engineer coaching skills, training and assessment skills

Engineer Coaching Skills Training

Any trainer needs two skill sets to be effective at teaching others. Knowing the subject is essential, as is knowing how to effectively transfer that information to their colleagues.

When candidates have been trained in a new skill or task then there needs to be some form of assessment to deem the candidates competent in that new skill or task.

Our range of training, coaching and assessing courses can provide trainers and managers with the essential skills in transferring information. We can enable you to build a team of instructors and assessors so your training initiatives can be accomplished more effectively, in a shorter amount of time.

The following are examples of standard and engineer coaching, training and assessment skills courses we have provided our customers at their premises:

Train the Trainer

Training is an investment in the future of any company and its employees. Managers are understandably concerned about the payback. Building skills and improving knowledge helps companies stay competitive.

However, if there is a larger group to train than the budget will allow, a company may benefit from MCP’s Train the Trainer course, which will enable them to leverage their training investment, often in ways that are not obvious.

MCP’s Train the Trainer course is designed for new and improving trainers and anyone who trains or instructs others in the workplace.

The Train the Trainer course will focus on:

  • Learning styles and processes

  • Barriers to learning

  • Communication – non-verbal behaviour, listening, questioning and observing

  • Planning and preparation

  • Training design

  • Setting training objectives

  • Mind-mapping

  • Training delivery

If you have new starters or want to develop technicians or operators in additional tasks, training your own competent staff or trainers can pay huge dividends. MCP offers both a City & Guilds Accredited Train the Work-Based Trainer Programme and a City & Guilds 6318 Registered Programme.
