Suspension of HAD scheme Wiltshire Constabulary.

[Mike1979]

Call it what you like: teaching, training or instructing. It's the ability to pass on skills and / or knowledge to others.
Having experience of the subject doesn't automatically grant you the ability to pass on that skill or knowledge.
That's my point.

You make a good point Tim. I think its important to strike the right balance of having the skills to teach and impart knowledge as well as a good understanding of the subject matter. I do a fair bit of training at work and find that knowing the subject matter is important but totally agree that the ability to present is equally (if not more) important.

I am always trying to convince others with the knowledge to get a teaching qual ...so they can do it instead of me

Yes agreed

Having experience in HAD work is very important with this subject but also there's a need to understand how students/candidates absorb what the trainer is trying to teach them and the way its put to them is highly important, failure to absorb many points for this type of work would probably mean not being accepted so the trainer and course must be right.
