    "Do you have what it takes to become an Instructor at HSS training?"

    Let's take a moment to see if you think you have what it takes to join our industry leading trainer fraternity.

    Below are some of the key attributes a successful trainer will need to process.

    Subject knowledge and Industry Expertise

    All of our instructors have an in-depth knowledge of the industry and the subject they will be delivering. They understand what is happening in their industry sector, industry trends, innovation and best practice.
    In having this level of knowledge and experience a good instructor can better interoperate the course content to delegates helping them to relate to information and apply their newly gained or refreshed skills.

    Can you provide evidence of your industry knowledge and subject matter expertise?

    • A current up to date CV
    • A portfolio of courses, possibly training material
    • References, endorsements or evaluations

    Do you have the ability to communicate effectively?

    Effective communication is vital if an instructor is going to deliver an effective training session. You may be required to convey extremely technical or challenging information, you will need to be able to clarify and concisely delivery the course content to your delegates.

    • How would you make sure delegates were engaged at all times, particularly on courses that cover a number of days?
    • How would you ensure a visual learner and an auditory learner got what they needed to stay engaged?
    • How would you help a delegate who was struggling with the subject matter or the course material?
    • How would you best employ course aids and materials?
    • Can you adapt your style to deliver virtual or remotely delivered training sessions?

    Are you a good listener?

    If you’re going to be a great educator then the ability to listen to your delegates, then to ask the right questions, while being able to interpret their needs is a priority.  You need to be able to quickly ascertain the ability and needs of each delegate so that you can direct them to the areas they need to understand to complete the course criteria successfully.

    Are you engaging?

    The training delivery must be a two-way street, the learning process can only truly begin when delegates are given the opportunity to share their ideas, ask and answer questions, take what they have learnt and apply it in practice.

    Being a good entertainer, having lots of funny stories and experience to impart or being a lecturer who loves to discuss your love of the subject isn’t enough.

    Our best instructors encourage delegates to interact with the group, getting them involved, asking searching questions and taking part in group activities as opposed to just sitting through hours of training material.

    Are you creative and flexible?

    Our instructors need to have the ability to be flexible and think creatively. No matter how well the training session has been planned and delivered in the past, what has worked for one group of delegates may not work for another, potentially leaving them disengaged.

    So it’s important that an instructor can adjust their style of delivery to meet the needs of the delegates on the day, being flexible in their approach and thinking creatively to adjust the delivery of the session.
    Becoming a great instructor means you will need to poses and be able to deploy all of these skills to some degree.  However great trainers develop their skills over time and we can help you gain the skills and knowledge required.

    Here is what some of our trainers had to say about training with HSS...


    Trainer Name: Rod
    Years with HSS: 2
    Which Training Courses do you Deliver?
    CITB Site Safety Plus suite of courses, specialising in Remote Learning.

    What Rod has to say about HSS Training:

    "HSS not only offer Face-to-Face training, but also Remote Learning. This has been exceptionally popular with our clients. It has the same benefits as a classroom course with direct training with the Tutor. It provides flexible working, reduction in costs i.e. Travel, Accommodation, Fuel and delegates can attend from anywhere."

    Trainer Name: Andrew
    Years with HSS: 9
    Which Training Courses do you Deliver:
    IPAF, PASMA, Ladder Association, City & Guilds: Abrasive Wheels, Manual Handling, Risk Assessment and COSHH.

    What Andrew has to say about HSS Training:

    "HSS Training is at the forefront because we care about the quality of training provided.
    Our commitment to deliver high standard training from our instructors is what we strive for in all our courses - with the delegate experience the focus of the delivery of any course."

    Trainer Name: Dave
    Years with HSS: 2
    Which Training Courses do you Deliver:
    F-Gas, Confined Spaces, EUSR, PASMA, Ladder Association.

    What Dave has to say about HSS Training:

    "As a mechanical/electrical engineer, F-Gas is my course of preference to teach as I find it very rewarding to train prospective technicians. The refrigerant training rigs and equipment allow trainees to easily visualise and understand all parts of a refrigerant system. They spend the week carrying out theory and practical training, which helps them to familiarise themselves with the hands-on elements. Being a week long, the delegates build rapport with the trainers which makes for a good week for all. I often have delegates comment at how much they learnt and enjoyed the course."
