Training Overview
WeTrain’s Practical Trainer Training equips supervisors and experienced staff with the confidence and skills to train others effectively on the job. Many organisations rely on experienced employees to show others how tasks should be done. Without proper training skills, however, knowledge can be passed on inconsistently, leaving gaps that affect safety, quality, and productivity.
This course gives participants a structured approach to training team members. They learn how to prepare, present, and evaluate training in a way that’s engaging, accurate, and repeatable. Practical Trainer goes beyond “show and tell” by giving participants proven tools to communicate instructions clearly, check understanding, and build confidence in those they train.
WeTrain’s style of delivery is engaging and fun. We encourage participation to make the training dynamic and enjoyable for all attendees.

The WeTrain Advantage —WeTrain’s National Network of Trainers
Catering to all, from single-site businesses to nationwide corporate companies, WeTrain has one of Australia’s largest networks of professional and experienced trainers for corporate communication training programs. Your course will be delivered by a subject expert who is highly practised and has qualified to represent us by attending the WeTrain Institute, our exclusive in-house training program.
Each of our trainers has the minimum qualification of a Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment, as well as many years of industry experience. We guarantee your course will be interesting, engaging and informative, with interactive techniques that encourage accelerated learning.
What Are Ideal Course Numbers?
Our courses are typically ‘hands-on’, so we suggest keeping numbers to a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 people. This allows our trainer to interact with your entire group yet still have enough time to allow for one-to-one interactions.
If your group exceeds 12, we will happily structure your training program to meet the needs of a larger audience. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

How is the Course Delivered?
WeTrain’s Introduction to Supervision and Leadership is generally presented as an engaging, interactive and fun two-day program, however we can tailor the content to present a one-day session when essential.
To ensure your training is relevant to your organisation and circumstances, we undertake an initial consultation, where we assess the skill level of your attendees, address your desired outcomes and find out valuable information about your company and its current set-up.
Remember, it’s your course, so you get to decide where it takes place. We are happy to teach WeTrain’s Introduction to Supervision and Leadership Training from your workplace or a venue of your choice.
Introduction to Supervision and Leadership is a two-day course.
