Hi Priya,
I am also working for an MNC, and I believe that I am a good presenter. For me, that's my passion. What I did to pursue my passion is that I, along with one of my friends who is also a working professional, approached certain professional colleges so that we can impart training to their students. We had a tough time, and at last, we got one. Now I am very much satisfied because I do what I love. I have my job as well as my passion. Don't let your skills go untried. Shoot for it; definitely, you will excel.

Thank you, Sir,
I think I also have the same situation as you. My job is good, but I am not enjoying it. I would like to work with a professional trainer so that I can have a real training experience. This will be beneficial for me to conduct training effectively and confidently.
One more thing I wanted to know is, how effective is the 'train the trainer' training program? Should I go for it?
Waiting for a reply!

Hi Priya! Good morning!
We welcome you to the world of TRAINERS!!! To be simple, I can tell you that a TRAINER is one who should be a person who can engage others' minds. I appreciate your interest in this. Instead of delving into various classes like "train the trainer," you can start at your initial stage with self-preparation. Begin by handling a guest lecture or an interactive session with your juniors at the college where you completed your graduation. This will provide you with a platform easily. Assess how much you can handle, select topics that you are comfortable with, such as self-confidence, the importance of communication, self-realization, and the truth behind truth. Prepare a presentation; it will be more effective. If you need any help, please let me know, and I will assist you.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Priya,
Adhithya gave the correct reply to your question. For gaining experience, you can conduct small programs, which will provide you with more exposure than any other sessions.

Hi Priya,
Glad to know that you are a wannabe trainer. Here are a few suggestions:
Try joining the local chapters of JCI (Junior Chamber International) and/or ISTD (Indian Society for Training and Development).
JCI is basically a training organization. You will get to meet a lot of local/national/international trainers through JCI, which would change your perspective about training.
ISTD offers diploma courses in T&D. You can visit their website to find out more details.
TTT programs are good. The effectiveness of the program would depend on the institute/trainer delivering the program. You can attend one or two to get a feel. Then, you can form an opinion of your own.
No matter what you learn or which institute/organization you join, your dream to become a trainer would still be incomplete if you do not have an audience/trainees to share your learning/knowledge. You haven't mentioned what profession you are currently in. If your current profession gives you an opportunity to test your training skills, then look no further. Grab it. If it doesn't, you may have to look for other vistas.
Through JCI, ISTD, or TTT, you come across other training professionals who may give you firsthand info on how to sharpen your training skills. If you build your network carefully, you might as well be able to join/work under a professional trainer. This would also give you an insight on training as a career option.
For a newbie trainer, getting an audience is pretty difficult. You would require some time to establish yourself. So, it is really important that you persevere, enhance your knowledge continuously, and build your network of friends/followers. As a first step (if your current profession does not give you an opportunity for delivering training), try volunteering for some NGO, where you can deliver training.
You will find a lot of information on citehr. Just do some research. Patience is the key. Do not forget to Google. It would give lots of information, more than you can handle.
Last point - there are several online communities/forums that you can join. Books too would help you a lot.
All the best!

Hi,
At the outset, let me compliment you on deciding to be a trainer. A number of readers of the post have given you some excellent inputs on how to go about sharpening your training skills. I am taking the liberty of adding my suggestions for your consideration.
To be a good trainer, a prerequisite is good communication skills, and in particular, effective presentation and public speaking skills. However, the heart and brains of the training still remain the domain knowledge, but even the most knowledgeable person would fail miserably as a trainer without effective communication skills. To further improve your communication skills, find a local Toastmasters club in your city and join them.
To get the academic inputs on training, you can do the course from the Indian Society for Training and Development (ISTD). Alternatively, you can also attend some Train The Trainer (TTT) programs offered by private institutions.
To get going, focus on those topics that you are familiar with, confident about, passionate about, or have a good grounding in. Keep updating yourself by reading extensively and start outlining the broad course contents, keeping in mind the type of audience you are likely to address. In particular, pay attention to the type of exercises, examples, activities that you will use during the program to reinforce a point or make the learning relevant. I would also suggest that you attend some corporate training by professionals on topics of your interest to get a feel of how it is structured and delivered.
If you have no corporate training experience, ideally take a few sessions for postgraduate students in colleges or for social service clubs like Lions and Rotary's so that you gain experience and can also fine-tune your material. Once you are confident, approach a few corporates, and the first few training programs are vital for future reference and for your own confidence.
I would also invite you to visit the following Inspirational and Motivational Blogs which can also assist you in improving your vocabulary and communication skills:
- www.actspot.wordpress.com - Over 1,07,000 views and 675 followers
- www.poweract.blogspot.com - Over 33,000 views and 180 followers

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
Adityan & Ajmal sir, as you suggested, I had contacted my college committee and convinced them about my training ideas. They promised me that they will call me for a guest lecture after the summer vacation.
With this, I tried to find out various training programs offered for trainers and contacted them. I will also join some training sessions to improve my skills and knowledge about delivering effective training.
I am so happy for getting the chance to prove myself. Guys, this will be my first training, and I require your help to make it successful. If anyone has any guidelines for training, please provide me with them.
Waiting for your valuable suggestions.
