This is a generic Trainer of Trainers’ training which seeks to equip trainers at every level with skills aligned to the requirements of a trainer standard. The purpose of train the trainer is to not only share skills with the group being trained but enabling those people to then pass those skills on to even more people. Train the trainer teaches people the skills they need to be effective trainers and facilitators so they can pass on their training to others effectively . The idea of train-the-trainer is essential to a strong overall training program, and the aim is not just to improve effectiveness, but also efficiency and productivity. The goal of many of these programs is to have a strong talent pool of trainers from which to pull, rather than to have only one instructor who manages everything trainer-related within a company. The program will provide graduates with skills, competence, attitude and confidence of managing jobs professionally and deliver to the expectations. In addition, this program has a potential to avail employment and creativity opportunities to the graduatesIt is important to note that, graduates of this program will be able to design and develop valid, attainable and realistic training tools to help in the learning experience. Hence expectations of learners shall ultimately be realized. It is therefore, our collective responsibilities from all recognized institutions in the country to work towards realization of vision 2036. .

The Botswana Quality Authority (BQA) strived for quality training, assessment and moderation expertise and encourages training companies/institutions/organizations to build capacity in the pool of trainers, assessors and moderators in Botswana. Though moderation and assessment are mutually inclusive in moderation procedures there is need for a review of assessment tools .This program will assist trainers/assessors who will ultimately be moderators themselves appreciate that moderation helps the as assessors to increase the dependability of the assessment information they gather. This improves the decisions they make about student learning/training they are involved in. When assessment is moderated, it impacts positively on the teaching/training and encourage quality work and what criteria defines that type of work. When good decisions are made concerning the type of assessment to be implemented, teachers/trainers can develop self-reviews skills and attain professional development.
