Small group training

The limited numbers attending each Teach the Teacher course ensures that every delegate receives as many opportunities for individual practice, key skills development, one to one coaching and feedback as possible; key ingredients in the learning process.

WHAT DO OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US?

"All the practical sessions are so useful with great feedback and advice by the trainer throughout the 2 days. Really feel like I got so much advice and the information provided on structuring and content have been very useful following the course; I refer back to the handouts all the time when planning teaching sessions. Thank you, will recommend to all my colleagues." Adam (Surgery) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (November 2010)

"Very well structured course, by far the best and most hands-on course I have been on before. I would recommend as un-missable for anyone who has an interest in furthering their medical teaching skills." Caspian (Anaesthetics) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (December 2010)

"What an interactive course! There was a great amount of small team and group work; it really helped put all the learning into practice. There was also great flexibility in the course so it was possible to use subjects relevant to my own speciality to present. The level of feedback from the trainer who was very knowledgeable on the subjects was great, she gave us both the positive and negative feedback but was also really clear and directive as to how to improve areas which was very useful. Keep up the good work. Natalie (A&E) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (January 2011)

"I found the session on structure and planning was the most useful. For once I understood it all and am confident I will be able to plan sessions in a structured manner which I definitely could not do before. I received thorough explanations for all my enquiries throughout the 2 days from Susan who was an excellent tutor." Hanner, (Obs & Gynae) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (January 2011)

"Speaking in public was something I always dreaded and this really effected my teaching ability. The course really helped me by being able to practice in a safe and encouraging environment without the pressure. It definitely improved my confidence in myself to not only stand up and speak, but to say something useful as well! Omar (Anaesthetics) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (February 2011)

"I was worried going on a course that it would be very dull and all theory based but this couldn't be more different. There was a great mix of the essential theory but also loads of practise and interactive sessions to put it all into perspective. This helped me understand the difficult concepts much more. The clear and patient teaching by Dr **** was also excellent, a very knowledgeable and approachable trainer." Harriet(O&G) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (March 2011)

"Thank you a great course and lovely two days. I feel I have learnt so many techniques and skills that I can use to improve not only my lectures and presentations, but also giving feedback. Feel like I have been armed with the essential teaching secrets and I am ready to face the world (or the lecture room..)" George (Paediatrics) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (March 2011)

Really useful 2 days, I particularly enjoyed the presentation session on the 2nd morning as it really highlighted my strengths and weaknesses so I know what areas I need to work more on. There was also excellent individual feedback provided by the trainer throughout the course, a very enjoyable 2 days." Omar(Surgery), Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (September 2011)

"During my consultant application it was pointed out that I lacked formal training in how to teach other doctors. After going on this course i how have all the boxes on my CV ticked which will make future applications much more competitive but more importantly I now know exactly how I should plan, structure and deliver my teaching sessions". Daniel (SpR5) Teach the Teacher Course for Doctors (September 2011)
