Guide to Becoming a Soft Skills Trainer: Tips and Training Opportunities

Dear friends,

Hi, I'm Shipra working in a consultancy as a support staff to a trainer. How can I become a soft skills trainer? Please suggest.

Hi Shiprai,

The primary requirement to be a trainer is good communication skills and loads of self-confidence. If you have these, then 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, and activities that you will use during the program to reinforce a point or make the learning relevant.

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 so that you gain experience and can 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 confidence.

If possible, attend a Train The Trainers (TTT) program and also be a participant in a couple of corporate training programs so that you have a better understanding of how the sessions are conducted. I would also urge you to go through the syllabus of the Indian Society for Training and Development headquartered in New Delhi. I am sure if you do the course, it would add weight to your resume and possibly help you get a few opportunities in T&D in the corporate world.

I would also invite you to visit the following Inspirational and Motivational Blogs:
