Learning Trainer
Also known as: Facilitator · Learning Facilitator · Course Leader
Delivers training courses and workshops for adults, often on behalf of companies, and tailors the approach to varying levels of experience.
The corporate trainer delivers short courses to groups of adults, often on location at a client. Unlike a school teacher, this role works outside a fixed curriculum and per assignment. Selection often tests presentation skill, while the ability to serve a group of adults with widely varying experience at the same time is rarely tested.
