In a societal and organizational development processes training have acquired the vanguard tools for proper percolation of concepts, approaches, techniques and general conduct of ways to the intended beneficiaries either be it staff of an organization, community; an individual or group. Training of Trainers is a powerful tool to enhance the capabilities of people who design and deliver trainings at different levels and context. The greatest inhibiting factor for organizations to outsource trainer is its high cost. Although it is wise to outsource training expertise in some areas, others requiring tight internal control are better handled in-house i.e. better use your own trainer. But it requires lot of skills to be a good trainer. Being good at subject does not signify you are a good trainer, and hence it does not ensure transfer of knowledge, skill etc. to the intended target. That's exactly what's needed to energize and inspire trainers' own work and personal development, and to widen their perspective. In order to address these issues, SSK has developed a comprehensive TOT program for new as well as experienced trainers based on participatory principles for effective learning.
