TWI Institute Certified Trainer Programs

 

The TWI Institute offers a 40-hour Train-The-Trainer (TTT) session for each TWI program of Job Relations (JR), Job Safety (JS). Job Instruction (JI) and Job Methods (JM).

Qualifications:
TWI Institute Certified Trainer candidates for the “J” programs are required to have experience with supervising and/or coordinating the work of others. Certified trainer candidates for Job Instruction and Job Methods must also have a good understanding of current day production systems and experience implementing the tools of TPS/Lean in the workplace

Prerequisites:
A Certificate of Completion confirming the candidate completed the appropriate 10-hour Supervisor Program of JR, JS, JI and/or JM. This means a person must complete the 10-hour JI training to register for the 40-hour JI trainer program; the 10-hour JR program to register for the 40-hour JR trainer program, and the same for JI and JM. .

Overview of the TWI Institute Train-the-Trainer Program (TTT):
• Each TTT program is 40 hours spread over five (5) consecutive days. Participants are required to actively attend all sessions, including any evening sessions. The TWI Institute format provides a “learn-by-doing” experience that requires each new trainer to demonstrate to the Master Trainer the ability to deliver the training in accordance with the Trainer Delivery Manual. This is not a problem when participants make the required effort.
• Class size is limited to 6 people to provide each participant with sufficient practice time to learn by practicing how to deliver each program of JI, JR, JS and JM as scripted in each of the trainer delivery manuals.
• The TWI Institute will send the “J” Program Delivery Manual, Participant Guide, Pocket Card and training materials in advance of the training. Each participant is required to become familiar with these materials prior to the first day of training.

Cost:
• $4,500 for each participant plus materials: JR & JS - $300; JI - $400; JM - $800.
• Travel expenses for the TWI Institute Master Trainer when the training is delivered on site.
• An additional $1,000 fee when extended travel is involved for the trainer which typically is the case when training trainers on site outside of the US.

TWI Institute Certified Trainers:
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to those who satisfactorily complete each 40-hour trainer program by displaying a clear understanding of the Training Delivery Manual and all training materials, and by demonstrated to the TWI Institute Master Trainer the ability to use these materials to successfully deliver the “J” program involved. Each trainer will be given a written evaluation outlining strengths and weaknesses that can be overcome with practice. Each new trainer is encouraged to contact the TWI Institute Master Trainer the week after the first delivery to review how to overcome the weaknesses outlined on their written evaluation.
