In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, effective training is more important than ever. For the AEC sector, the success of digital transformation hinges on well-prepared instructors who can transfer essential knowledge and skills.
In our report, Constructing Skills for African Prosperity, we draw upon exemplars which highlight the importance of “train-the-trainer” models. Autodesk Learning Partners share best practice and reinforce the importance of partnership working.
Nancy Tremblay and Michele Broccardo from Autodesk emphasise the importance of both subject matter expertise and instructional skills. Autodesk Certified Instructors (ACIs) are equipped with role-aligned content, hands-on projects, and methodologies like Bloom’s Taxonomy and the ADDIE model, ensuring that they can deliver engaging and impactful learning experiences.
Ongoing mentorship and support are vital. By fostering a community of learning and providing continuous development opportunities, trainers/instructors are not just prepared—they are empowered to inspire the next generation of professionals.
Incorporating these best practices into training programmes create a powerful multiplier effect. For the AEC sector, investing in high-quality train-the-trainer programmes is not just a nice-to-do, it’s a necessity for future readiness.
