Our ToC Courses and Their Ingredients

5-Day ToC Course

Our five-day course is designed to help your future trainers with little or no previous experience in delivering training become confident about designing, planning, and delivering a professional training event. It is far slower-paced than the three-day course, with plenty of time for discussions and sharing ideas.

The content is shown below, but can be edited slightly to suit specific needs.

3 Day ToC Course

Our three-day course is designed to upskill experienced trainers (minimum of 2 years) so they can become confident about designing, planning, and delivering professional training events using our methodology

This is a faster-paced course with limited time for discussion. Therefore, people must have the prerequisite experience (minimum 2 years) to attend it, to avoid putting them under unfair pressure or delaying the progress of all attendees. 

The content is shown below, but can be edited slightly to suit specific needs.

Where necessary, day 3 can be scheduled directly after day 2, so it becomes a three-day back-to-back course. Please bear in mind that the time to practice overnight will be limited.  

2 Day ToC Course

Our two-day course is designed to upskill semi/inexperienced trainers who deliver training only as a small part of their primary role. Their training responsibilities may be occasional, such as induction, EDI, organisational values training, or other short training sessions. 

While the content is similar to our 3- and 5-day courses, it is covered in less detail due to the time restrictions. Attendees will not gain access to our detailed methodology.  

Prework (mostly reading) must be completed before arriving to start the course. This is necessary so that other attendees are not disadvantaged because others have not completed their prework.

ToC Assessor Courses

Two Days:

This allows certified (within two years of their last certification) ToC trainers/facilitators to become a ToC Certified Assessor (TCA) and their organisation to become an Internal Certification Centre (ICC). 


Four Days:

This allows an experienced trainer (with at least two years of experience) without a recent certification to be assessed as a Certified ToC Trainer and also become a ToC Certified Assessor (TCA).

Why have some of your ToC Trainers become internal ToC assessors?

  • Your assessors can regularly reassess every four months (as recommended) instead of a delivery check every two years (a far larger risk of poor practice evolving).
  • Your assessors can recertify ToC Trainers who have attended one of our ToC Courses by videoing a short session, completing a SOR and submitting their video clip and completed SOR for our LaPD Solutions assessors to validate and issue a certificate. Bear in mind, ToC Trainer recertification is only required every two years. All other informal assessed sessions will be to health check their colleagues’ delivery style and ensure standardisation across the organisation.  
  • Number 2 above can be completed in stages and does not have to be a full session. IE record and assess the Introduction (1) and part of the Interactive Learning (2) of one session, then the Practice (3), Recap (4), Test (5) and Close (6) of another. 
  • Your assessors can just arrange a short role-play session (as we did on the last day of their ToC course), and complete a SOR and submit their video clip and completed SOR for our LaPD Solutions assessors to validate and issue a certificate. 
  • Your assessors can regularly informally assess your trainers and ensure areas for development are addressed through internal coaching as required. 
  • Your assessors would be able to share best practices for various sessions and continually improve the organisation’s offering to its clients.
