Build and boost in-house capacity around inclusion at work
Our Train the Trainer programmes empower your teams to become in-house champions of best practice around diversity, equity and inclusion, ensuring long-term EDI knowledge and understanding is embedded right across the business.
We’ll work with you to custom-build a training programme that reflects your everyday operations and business challenges, before training up your team members. Then your people take up the reins and roll out the programme themselves. It’s an especially cost-effective solution for large-scale training initiatives, or when you already have your own learning and development team in place.

Large-scale, long-term expertise
Increase confidence and subject matter knowledge around DEI
A Train the Trainer programme is the ideal way for your people to take ownership of the organisation’s DEI journey. By developing inclusive facilitation skills, they’ll feel more confident in tackling inclusion topics as they arise. Together, they can then drive real cultural change from within.
We bring significant experience in delivering these programmes for the likes of Halfords, Reiss, Mears and LNER. At Boston Consulting Group, we worked with 40 trainers who then trained 1,800 staff on the theme of Conscious Inclusion. We have the expertise to design training programmes on any DEI subject.

Blended support for trainers
Bespoke training design with wrap-around support
We understand that no two businesses are the same. That’s why we’ll consult with your delivery team during the design of the training sessions. We’ll then take their workshop insights and carefully design a Train the Trainer programme that would typically be held over two days and include:
- Training on how to deliver the content positively and proactively
- How to create a ‘safe space’ for effective EDI training
- Inclusive facilitation skills
- Dealing with emotive subject matter
- Responding to the lived experience of those in the room
- How to build credibility as a trainer by weaving in one’s own DEI story
We’ll also arrange co-delivery with an EW Group consultant to ensure quality and consistency across the training as it’s rolled out. Your trainers will receive wrap-around support through group and one-to-one coaching so that they can feel confident in their role and its impact on the wider business.

Train the Trainer FAQs
What is a Train the Trainer course
Train the Trainer courses are built to help your organisation reach DEI goals and maintain them in the long run. These courses teach employees and managers to deliver successful training themselves, providing all the knowledge and skills that are required for this purpose. By allowing them to roll out the programme themselves, our courses make select members of your team into in-house champions of equality, diversity and inclusion. This is ideal for large companies or initiatives, as it empowers your team internally to continue training for the rest of the company.
Why are Train the Trainer courses effective?
Creating your own in-house team of trainers is not only cost-effective but also an incredible way to reach DEI goals in the short and long term. Members of staff who have completed a Train the Trainer course are not only able to lead training sessions themselves, they will also be able to engage more effectively with your internal teams and employees to discuss issues and questions as they arise. It’s also a scalable approach to DEI, as your new trainers will be able to continuously train more and more staff.
