Job Title: Freelance IT Trainer

Location: Central London (Aldgate)

Salary: Competitive Daily Rate

Job Type: Freelance

Closing date: 11pm Wednesday 15th February 2017

1st Interview Date: 21st Feb 2017

2nd Interview Date: 28th Feb 2017

Our Client is an award winning learning and development organisation. They offer public and private IT Training, as well as soft skills / management events and facilitation. They recently moved into new premises (in Aldgate) where they host their training courses and events. They also run small to medium sized conferences at various locations (mostly around London). They are currently seeking freelance IT trainers to be part of a delivery project for one of their largest corporate clients.

Their approach is different to other training providers. For them, training isn't just about being knowledgeable or conveying complicated information. It's about how much you can involve your learners.

Who we are looking for:

They are looking for experienced IT trainers, with a package knowledge that covers MS Office to an intermediate level at least. Experience of additional end user packages, such as MS Project, SharePoint, Adobe Photoshop / InDesign etc. will be an advantage. Software Rollout package experience (such as SAP, Salesforce, Siebel, Oracle etc.) is also desirable.

All their staff or freelance IT trainers are required to be TPMA accredited with the Learning Performance Institute (LPI). If you are not accredited, but they believe you have the potential to be - they will offer training and accreditation as part of your induction.

If you make delegate involvement the focus of your training whilst also making the use of computers fun - and are determined to provide the very best service to every learner - then please apply.

What you get:

The standard starting rate for most courses is £175. Large rollouts / projects this can go up to £250 (agreed in advance).

A performance bonus is also available for each day (between £10-£20) for trainers who score sufficiently high on particular evaluation measures.

Subsequent rate negotiation is dependent upon length of relationship, delivery of particular high income training and, crucially, consistently high evaluation scores.

As a freelancer, you are invited to observe / join in with our courses as part of your development. As previously mentioned, Happy will also provide TPMA training and assessment if you are not already accredited.

Essential Characteristics:

* Ability to fully involve learners and train to the standard of TPMA or an equivalent.

* Experience delivering to corporate clients (Pharmaceutical / Healthcare an advantage)

* Experience delivering training in bespoke, reporting, data manipulation packages, advanced MS Excel (or equivalent). Ipad / IOS familiarity preferable.

* Infinite patience: the trainer will never show annoyance or anger with learners or put them down, whatever they do.

* Excellent communication skills: The ability to avoid un-necessary jargon and explain computers and software in language that a non-technical person can understand.

* Good social skills: a relaxed and friendly attitude, to enable all learners to feel relaxed and at ease.

* Performance skills: the trainer should ensure that the learners have an entertaining and enjoyable day.

* Commitment to our Client's training principles: these are based around a training style that fully involves all delegates, and seeks to realise their learning potential.

* Flexibility: trainers must be prepared to question their methods, test out new ideas and seek to continually improve their training ability.

* Interest in the way people learn, and in actively using coaching skills to improve training.

* Curiosity & Learning ability: trainers must be able to learn new packages at short notice.

* Course preparation. The person is expected to spend time ensuring they are completely at ease with course manuals, timetables, demos & exercises, and on top of the package that they are training in.

* Consideration and Tidiness. Trainers will commit to leaving training rooms / shared areas tidy for other trainers. Taking pride in the company environment, and showing consideration to users and learners.
