Purpose of the Course

The purpose of the Trainer’s EDGE course is to provide and help develop the platform skills of a trainer. This presentation skills course is open to all adult leaders and youth participants 14 and older. It is meant to supplement the practice offered through Wood Badge and NYLT staff development, with a focus on the participant, while raising the level of skill a trainer brings to the staff experience or to their unit. Only practice can polish these skills, but this course is intended to “train the trainer” on behaviors and resources while offering handson experience in methods and media. Participants will have the opportunity to make several presentations utilizing different kinds of media and receive actionable, constructive feedback on how to improve their presentation and teaching skills
