T2T - training to trainer

T2T is the Common Threads Training to Trainer programme. It gives experienced trainers the opportunity to deliver tried-and-tested Common Threads training courses in their local area.

There are many benefits to both the trainer and the organisations for which they work.

• professional development - trainers broaden their training repertoire and add to their delivery style
• trainer support - trainers receive mentoring and support from Common Threads as well as developing links with each other
• practice development - the courses offered under the T2T programme have been proven to develop practice in practitioners
• saves resources - no need to waste time and money developing new training courses and trainers also qualify for discounts on Common Threads publications.

How does it work?

Anybody who is an experienced trainer and also has the relevant practice experience can be part of the T2T programme and deliver Common Threads training courses on behalf the organisation for which they work or even on a freelance basis. Trainers apply to become part of the T2T  programme and, providing that they are accepted on the basis of their training and practice experience, join the T2T course which they would like to deliver. The T2T  course is led by an experienced Common Threads trainer who knows the course well. The group works through the course together to experience the content and to discuss content-related and practical issues, as well as to learn about quality assurance requirements and the paperwork! After the T2T  course trainers then receive support from Common Threads, which includes quality assurance visits, telephone support and discounts on our publications. The T2T programme is effectively a licencing arrangement so trainers can choose to renew their licence on an annual basis. Please download the 'terms and conditions' leaflet for the other bits of rules and regulations which apply to the licence for delivery!

Costs and how to book 

The cost per place (includes lunch, all refreshments, the T2T trainers course, the course manual and a 12-month licence) vary per course - please click here for a direct link to our shop or use the shop link above and then the training courses button to find out the cost for the course you are interested in (remember to look for the T2T logo, not the one for practitioners!).

Download the trainer application form, complete it and send it to us for approval. Once we have emailed to say that you have been accepted on the T2T programme, all you need to do then is to download the course application form and fill it in with the details of the T2T  course you want to attend (one form per course please!).

Then click the button to our shop above and find the course and date you are interested in. Put the course place(s) in your basket, then check out and you will automatically be sent an invoice. Put your completed course application form and a cheque for the amount shown on your invoice in the post to us and we will then email you a course confirmation form!

Couldn't be easier - but if you do get confused anywhere along the line, do contact us!
