About the TWI JI Trainer programme

How will you learn?

Recorded lessons in the Academy

Watch the videos at your own pace and work with the trainer and instructor manuals. Use them to prepare the part of the workshop you will teach.

Live sessions with a trainer

Practise leading a workshop in five two-hour online sessions. Bring your project work and questions to three consultations in a group of 3–6 participants.

Who is the programme for?

You need to hold TWI JI Instructor certification. This programme is for people who will develop instructors, review the quality of on-the-job training or coordinate TWI in their organisation.

What will you be able to do?

  • Observe an instructor, identify the part of the session that could improve and discuss it with them.
  • Plan instructor development and decide how to check training quality across shifts.

Programme

Five modules for TWI trainers

Each module prepares you for a different part of the trainer’s role. Open a topic to see what you will practise.

01The trainer’s role and kick-off

With a TWI Master Trainer, agree your responsibilities, how you will work together, the schedule and the assessment criteria. Choose a situation from your own workplace for a project.

02Leading a TWI Job Instruction workshop

Use the trainer and instructor manuals to prepare a demonstration and choose your questions. Then lead part of the workshop with the group.

03Adult learning and instructor coaching

Practise facilitating a group. Use an observed instruction session to give specific feedback and agree the next step with the instructor.

04Coordinating TWI in your organisation

Work with a skills matrix and measures of implementation. Agree what trainers, instructors and supervisors are responsible for and how to keep training consistent.

05Project consultations

Bring questions from your workshop and audit. Review your observations with a Master Trainer in a small group and refine the actions you will take at work.

Workplace practice

Two projects in your organisation

Discuss both projects with your trainer and receive individual feedback.

Project 01

Lead a workshop for instructors

Prepare and deliver a TWI Job Instruction workshop. Use what you observe to plan how the instructors will develop their skills.

Project 02

Audit an instruction session

Observe another TWI instructor training someone on the job. Record specific examples, discuss them with the instructor and suggest what to practise next.
