Train the Trainer

    Hi all,

    I was doing a day course for work last week through FAS and after the class the Tutor approached me and suggested that I look into doing the 'Train the Trainer' course. She said she felt with my experience and qualifications (I have 2 overall fetac level 5 awards), along with my personality that I would possibly make a good trainer delivering Fetac modules up to level 5.
    I contacted a place that does such course to see if all of what she told me was possible and they agreed. Saying that there is always a demand for trainers, and once you do the course you can be registered as such with Fetac and are in a position to apply to private companies to deliver modules on their behalf, in a sub-contractor role.

    Question 1:
    Is it possible to deliver Fetac modules without any other teaching experience or qualifications?

    Question 2:
    Is there work out there for somebody new to it, or is it hard to break into?

    I'd really appreciate any advice on this, as I really don't want to do (yet again) another course that won't stand to me.

    FAS require all trainers and training companies who deliver training to have a train the trainer qualification at Fetac Level 6 or higher. this is only one string to your bow you also need a formal qualification at at least one level higher the qualification you are training. There are alot of highly qualified trainers sub contracting FAS work

    Don't think VEC's are as stringent

    Thanks for your reply. So can I just clarify, when you say formal qualification,do you mean a fetac award?

    Sorry am just finding the whole thing quite confusing, and fetac or Fas didn't prove to be very helpful.

    Ah ok thank-you, am disappointed but at least I didn't waste my time doing it so! Obviously the trainer I spoke to was just giving a sales pitch.
