TOT

Train of Trainer course is characterised by a definite goal orientation The major thrust is not so much on ‘transfer of information or expertise” as on sharing of ideas and experiences” Also, the ultimate objective of training is not so much oriented towards the gain in knowledge as on “change in ideas and attitudes”. Likewise, the major thrust of the activity is not so much to produce skilled professionals or efficient workers as to prepare an institutive of facilitators of change. Unlike other training programs where the objectives are outlined in terms of the requirements of a particular job or employment, in TOT it is the user’s need that provides the base for the structure and strategy of the training. It is, therefore, essential that the training design of TOT is outlined in the light of the outcome of a training needs assessment.
