1. Introduction

1.1 Training is part of an education process which is important status in development of people. It is a process that stimulates both trainers and learners in a common learning situation. The focus is on conscious learning in building up competencies, skills and attitudes, thus enabling an individual to contribute effectively to society and be able to understand oneself in terms of capabilities and talents.

1.2 Training is the responsibility of three partners: the participant’s organization, the participants and the training organisation. Thus training of trainers is based on a belief that acquisition of subject knowledge by participants leads to action and individual actions leads to improvement on the job. Training is where the capacity of the participants to learn and his or her ability as a trainer to teach will be measured and further improved.
