Who is Train the Trainer for?
Organisations that need to train many people, consistently, more than once.
- L&D teams scaling a programme across sites, countries or business units
- HR business partners embedding leadership and inclusion in the people strategy
- Global organisations with international or multi-site teams
- Public-sector bodies that need a lower cost per learner
Certified trainers can
- Deliver the programme to the same standard as LIA's Master Trainers
- Adapt case studies to your sector without changing the core model
- Run sessions in person, live online or in a hybrid room
- Handle sensitive topics such as bias, DEI and generational stereotypes
- Measure behaviour change and report it to leadership
Is Train the Trainer cheaper than outsourcing training?
Usually, once a programme needs to reach more than a few groups. Outsourced delivery is paid for every cohort. Certified in-house trainers can run unlimited cohorts for 12 months with no per-learner fees, so your cost per learner falls with every session.
Outsourced delivery
Best for one-off or specialist sessions
- Cost
- A fee for every cohort you run
- Per learner
- Stays the same for every group
- Scheduling
- Fitted around facilitator availability
- Capability
- Leaves when the session ends
Your certified trainers
Best for programmes every manager needs
- Cost
- One investment, unlimited cohorts for 12 months
- Per learner
- Falls with every cohort you run
- Scheduling
- Fitted around your operations and onboarding
- Capability

How is the impact measured?
Impact is measured at three levels: trainer capability, delivery quality and learning transfer. Every certification includes pre- and post-session assessments and 90-day learner and line-manager surveys, so L&D can report behaviour change, not just attendance.

Three-level evaluation framework
- Level 1
- Trainer capability: knowledge assessment and an observed, assessed delivery.
- Level 2
- Delivery quality: sessions run as designed, rated by learners after every session.
- Level 3
- Learning transfer: knowledge gain, plus applied behaviour confirmed by learners and line managers at 90 days.

Ask a QuestionWhat is Train the Trainer?
A professional accreditation that equips selected employees to deliver LIA's training frameworks independently within their organisation. Your HR, L&D or internal trainers spend three days learning to deliver an LIA programme, are assessed, and are then licensed to run it for unlimited internal learners for 12 months.
Who is the programme designed for?
HR and L&D professionals, managers, team leaders, internal trainers and subject-matter experts responsible for employee development. Choose people who are credible with the audience and comfortable running group sessions.
Does the trainer need previous experience?
Some experience of running workshops or presenting to groups helps. Facilitation skills are taught during the three days.
How long does the programme take?
The accreditation runs over three days, covering programme immersion, facilitation techniques, practical delivery and competency assessment. Accrediting several trainers across several programmes through an enterprise partnership takes about 12 weeks.
What happens during the three days?
- Day 1: Experience the programme as a participant.
- Day 2: Learn the facilitation methods, materials and delivery framework.
- Day 3: Demonstrate delivery skills through practical assessment.
Is the programme delivered online or in person?
The standard accreditation is delivered in person. Bespoke delivery arrangements can be discussed.
Where does the programme take place?
At LIA’s training centre at 167-169 Great Portland Street, London, or at your premises in any of 38 cities across the UK and EMEA, including:
- United Kingdom & Ireland: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin
- Western Europe: Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Luxembourg City, Zurich, Geneva
- Germany & Austria: Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Vienna
- Southern Europe: Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Lisbon
- Nordic region: Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki
- Central & Eastern Europe: Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Bucharest
- Middle East: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah
- Africa: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi, Cairo
Is certification included?
Yes. Participants who successfully complete the competency assessment receive LIA certification. The certification is CPD certified: London Intercultural Academy is CPD Provider 781813 and UKPRN 10093621.
What happens if a participant does not pass the assessment?
One additional assessment is included, alongside targeted coaching to address identified development areas.
What materials are provided?
Participants receive facilitator guides, presentation slides, participant workbooks, exercises, role-play materials, assessment tools and delivery instructions.
Can certified trainers deliver the programme independently?
Yes. Certified trainers receive an internal-use licence allowing them to deliver the accredited framework within their organisation.
Can certified trainers deliver the programme online?
Yes. The slides and participant workbooks are built for in-person, hybrid and live virtual delivery, and the accreditation covers adapting the programme for virtual sessions.
Are there limits on the number of employees who can be trained?
The first-year licence permits unlimited internal delivery without per-participant or per-session fees, subject to the agreed licensing terms. In recent LIA partnerships, 3 certified trainers in the electric vehicle industry trained 200 employees in one year, 8 trainers in hospitality reached 2,000 employees, and 2 trainers at a fintech company trained 70 employees.
Can the programme be delivered across multiple departments and locations?
Yes. The internal licence supports delivery across the client's departments, teams and locations, provided delivery remains within the licensed organisation.
Does the licence allow commercial delivery to other organisations?
No. The licence covers internal employee training only. External commercial delivery, resale and sublicensing require a separate agreement with LIA.
How long is the internal delivery licence valid?
The initial licence covers 12 months. Annual renewal is available to maintain internal delivery rights, access to updated materials and facilitator support, with an annual refresh and reassessment. New programmes can be added at renewal.
Is post-accreditation support included?
Yes. The first year includes four quarterly check-ins, coaching, delivery reviews and access to an LIA programme lead.
Can the programme be customised?
Yes. LIA can adapt examples, scenarios and case studies to reflect the organisation's industry, workforce and operational requirements.
Who owns the training materials and frameworks?
LIA retains ownership of its intellectual property, frameworks and training materials. The client receives licensed rights to use and deliver the programme internally, and any examples specific to the organisation remain the client’s.
What does the accreditation cost?
Pricing depends on the programme, duration and organisational requirements. The three-day Advanced Train the Trainer accreditation starts from £5,500 per trainer, including training materials, one year of post-accreditation support and an internal delivery licence. Bespoke arrangements are available.
Is Train the Trainer cheaper than outsourcing training?
Usually, once a programme needs to reach more than a few groups. Outsourced delivery is paid for every cohort, so the cost per learner stays the same. Once your trainers are certified, they can run unlimited internal cohorts for 12 months with no per-learner fees, so the cost per learner falls with every session.
How is LIA's Train the Trainer different from a generic train the trainer course?
Generic train the trainer courses teach general facilitation skills. LIA's programme certifies your trainer to deliver a specific, ready-made CPD-certified programme, with all materials, a licence to use them and impact measurement included, so they can start running it internally immediately.
How do we measure the impact of internal training?
Every accreditation includes pre- and post-session assessments, a session evaluation form, and 90-day learner and line-manager surveys, so L&D teams can report behaviour change to leadership.
Can we accredit multiple internal trainers?
Yes. Organisations can arrange accreditation for multiple employees or cohorts, subject to programme availability and agreed commercial terms. Through an enterprise partnership, LIA can accredit up to five trainers across several programmes in about 12 weeks, with materials branded for your organisation.
How do we get started?
Contact LIA to discuss your training objectives, programme requirements, participant numbers and preferred dates. Our team will recommend the appropriate accreditation structure.
