Scope
In the ‘2nd EMBL Train-the-Trainer’ workshop, we aim to provide:
- tips for delivering and developing training with the focus on live training (in-person or virtual formats)
- guidance on general training techniques and appropriate use of methods based on learner needs, including some general ‘DO’s’ and ‘DON’Ts’ for successful training
- a framework for successful curriculum design and further development, to enable trainers to build a course appropriate to their learners’ needs
After the completion of the ‘Train-the-Trainer’ workshop, the participants will be able to:
- list ways to engage learners and keep them motivated
- use of a variety of training methods to effectively teach content
- outline evaluation and feedback methods to assess learning
- apply reflective practice to training

Registration
If the course is oversubscribed, we will try to maximise diversity of participants in terms of previous experience, opportunities to use the training skills acquired, opportunities to get similar training in other contexts, gender and role in the institution. We encourage you to provide us some information about all of these in the short motivation statement in the form.
A waiting list is also available, both in the case you cannot attend this specific edition but you would like to be notified about the next ones, and if the course is fully booked.
The TtT workshop will be held in a hybrid format, probably with on-site sessions in Heidelberg and Hinxton and virtually for all other EMBL sites, but we are open to discuss other arrangements depending on the number of attendees on each site.
Acknowledgments
Some modules of this programme are re-used from the ELIXIR-GOBLET Train the Trainers programme.
This is possible because our communities implement the FAIR principles, which we advocate for in the training content.
Other info
If instead of a live training you prefer to go through the content at your own pace, you may be happy to know that the content is also available in the on demand section of the EMBL Training catalogue.
