Why this course
Most training is forgotten before the room even empties. This globally acclaimed, skills-building train-the-trainer class shows trainers, teachers, instructors, coaches, and facilitators a better way — grounded in cognitive neuroscience, the brain science behind effective instructional design.
You won't just hear about brain-based learning; you'll experience it from the first minute. Every strategy is modelled live, so you feel exactly what your own learners will feel — and you leave with the confidence and the tools to do the same.
What you'll be able to do
By the end of the two days, you'll be able to:
- ✓Apply six brain-science principles every time you train — whatever the topic's complexity, the group size, or the level of your learners.
- ✓Design any session with the 4Cs Map, a simple four-step model for brain-based instruction and delivery.
- ✓Reach for dozens of ready-made activities — each just 1–5 minutes and content-independent, so they drop into any class, online or in person.
- ✓Boost attention, retention and engagement with activities that involve the whole brain, not just the ears.
- ✓Turn your own material into a brain-friendly session — and sharpen it with live peer feedback during the class.
- ✓Explain the science of attention and memory to colleagues, and lead the shift from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side”.
How you'll spend the two days
- Discover how the brain really learns — and why traditional “sit and get” training works against it.
- Experience the six learning principles that make brain-based instruction so effective, by doing them, not just discussing them.
- Build your trainer's toolbag — collecting dozens of short, interactive strategies you can use with any subject, even the driest or most technical.
- Design your own session on a topic you already teach, using the 4Cs Map and your new toolbag — then polish it with feedback from your peers.
What you'll take home
- ✓A trainer's toolbag of activities you can use on Monday morning
- ✓The six brain-science principles and the 4Cs Map
- ✓Fresh, interactive ways to use PowerPoint, fun learning aids and dozens of digital resources
- ✓Membership of an ongoing trainers' “mastermind” community, united by brain science and a passion for learning excellence
