As an update to the ever-popular free resources for trainers feature, we ran earlier this year, we have found yet more freebies to add to the ever-expanding list. As before, if we've missed any gems, post a comment below or send an email to editor@trainingzone.co.uk.
100 free downloadable trainer resources in loads of topics – interpersonal skills, managerial skills, induction, selling, cutomer care, telephone techniques, emailing, traning administration, assertiveness, time management, presentation skills, appraisals and recruitment advertising.
More free training resources (tips and tools) are available at Learning Support Centre. Tips include assertiveness training, staying focused, CV writing, making a good first impression, being interviewed, motivating others, running meetings, negotiating and self-marketing. Tools include delegation questionnaire, chairperson skills, meeting cost calculator and a networking quiz. There’s also a mental gymnasium, with free games.
100 plus ways to review, experience and transfer learning – actively, creatively and effectively. A useful resource for teachers and trainers. Active reviewing articles for facilitators of experience-based learning - everything you could possibly want to know about reviewing – for newcomers, teams, by numbers, for fun, leadership, etc. Downloads include a basic toolkit for reviewing.
Free resources offered promise to make your training sessions sizzle! 30 magic selling questions, listening exercises, chinese whispers, trainer competancy assessments, induction evaluation forms, training needs analysis templates, the three Cs of leadership, negotiation exercises and more.
A newly launched site – all training activities are totally free. The site is still fairly young, so it is not fully developed – there will be new additions to how it is used. It’s also a place for trainers to swap material. Maybe you need a role play for a negotiations course, but don’t have the time to write it. The search facility promises to find one that fits your purpose. Then give something back – become an author. Perhaps you have a case study or role play that could be useful to someone else? Submit your training activities and receive a free page of web advertising.
