DELIVERING LEARNING
SESSIONS TO OTHERS

2. Introduction
Quest (Scotland) Ltd is delighted to offer an accredited qualification in Planning
and Delivering Learning Sessions to groups. Quest has been delivering a Train
the Trainer workshop and the Professional Development Award in Delivering
Training in the workplace for a few years and we are excited to be able to offer a
new qualification, which gives our customers a choice about how they become an
accredited trainer.
The credit points for the qualification is 6 credits and learners must undertake 40
hours of guided learning to achieve the award.
The award can be delivered in your own company or learners can book onto our
Open workshops.
This award will be achieved by attending 3 full days of workshops which will be
two consecutive days, followed by one follow up day after 1-2 weeks. Learners will
conduct a 20 minute training session on day 3 and then have a second 30 minute
presentation assessed after completing the 3 days. Learners will also be required
to write a reflective account after the programme as well as writing 300 words to
meet the first outcome. In our experience of running these courses, it’s almost always
the thought of presenting to others that is most daunting, but trust us, once you’ve
completed the first two days, you’ll have the confidence and skills to deliver a
brilliant training session.
