How to pick the right contract trainer?

When first starting out on a training project, we hear all too often clients say that they’d ideally like to use their internal trainers to do the job.

The problem is that many training departments are already operating at full capacity. Imagine an unscheduled project - like a new technology rollout or some other large change initiative! Your training department may struggle to keep up.

It’s important to know how to pick the right contract trainer so you can get the most out of your training investment and time spent. Since you are going to the effort of hiring a contract trainer, you want to ensure the person you hire has the right skills and expertise to deliver and manage effective training classes, both online and virtually.

Picking the Right Contract Trainer

A contract trainer is a professional who provides specialized and exceptional training services to organizations. Many companies decide to outsource trainers to minimize the cost of hiring in-house staff, leading to reduced operational costs.

The contract trainer is responsible for having a thorough understanding of the training content (requiring various levels of specialization) and must be able to present it effectively by altering delivery style to match to the learning audience. The contract trainer works with various stakeholders to evaluate the success of learning programs and may serve as an on-site performance coach through consulting, monitoring and evaluating training results.

Before engaging a trainer, companies should always conduct their due diligence to ensure the person contracted for the job is the right fit for the position. Below are steps you can follow to create a seamless experience when looking for the right contract trainer!
