Testimonials
"What I liked most about this class was the knowledge I have acquired. This knowledge has helped me identify training in the past that was not up to par and helped to educate me on what I can do to better facilitate training in the future." — Dylan Root, Amcor Packaging, Inc.
"Excellent. I really appreciate finding a “legit” course on training that includes so much foundational learning of the training methods, adult learning, organization, etc." — Kristin Braaksma, FBMM, Inc.
"The UWM Train the Trainer Certificate series is one of the best train-the-trainer events I’ve attended – covering topics from the initial training request/analysis through design and learning objectives development. Whether you are new to training or have been in the field for a while, there is something to learn with courses that pull people from different levels/backgrounds together and provide them an opportunity to share with and learn from each other. The information is presented in a manner that someone new to training can easily attend and gain valuable insight, and yet takes some deeper dives on topics that will help further develop skills of more experienced trainers." — Tamara Berger, February 2023
