4 Questions to ask when looking for a virtual train the trainer provider:

So, you know why you should get upskilled with virtual train the trainer (VILT) . You have decided to ‘Go Pro’ by going through Train the Trainer (TTT) upskilling to deliver or design virtual training.

Here are 4 questions to ask when looking for a virtual train the trainer provider.
Q1: How much time and budget do you have to invest?
VILT providers and programmes offer varying approaches. Shop around and find the solution that is best for you. For example, do you just need a boost to improve your current VILT deliveries or are you a complete newcomer who wants to start from scratch?

Q2: Who will be the specific VILT expert delivering your Train the Trainer programme?

When looking at different providers, look deep and identify the actual person who will be delivering the Train the Trainer sessions.
This is important to do as you want to ensure you are tapping in to somebody with plenty of experience and expertise in this area. VILT has been around for over 10 years but it is only recently that it has gained so much traction. You want somebody who has delivered 100’s of virtual programmes successfully to a variety of industries and organisations.

Ask:
How long have they been doing this?
How many sessions have they delivered in live VILT as well as VILT TTT?
What environments/organisations/industries have they delivered VILT in?

Q3: What happens after the Train the Trainer?

No doubt you will get lots of support during your Train the Trainer, but what support will you receive ongoing? What if you run in to issues, have questions or want to tap into further best practice? Is there any future support, forums, chat rooms that you can have access to?

Q4: Can I speak to others who have experienced the Train the Trainer you provide?

Any good VILT TTT provider will be able to put you in touch with others who have been through their programme. Ask them about how to get the most from the Train the Trainer programme and why they chose their particular provider.

Have your questions prepared. Here are some suggestions:
What did they see as the advantages and disadvantages of using this provider?
Did they feel there was the optimum number of participants on the programme?
Was there enough support given?

A little bit of research and asking the right questions should help you find the right provider. Then your way forwards will be the world of professional VILT genius!
