What type of training does the 'train-the-trainer' model focus on?

The 'train-the-trainer' model focuses on empowering local trainers to pass on skills effectively to others. This approach leverages the knowledge and capabilities of local individuals, enabling them to become proficient trainers themselves. By focusing on building the capacity of local trainers, the model creates a sustainable and scalable training environment. It ensures that the knowledge transfer continues beyond the initial training sessions, helping to establish a self-sufficient training system within the community or organization.

In contrast, options such as exclusively focusing on equipment handling, creating centralized training schools, or offering one-time workshops do not embody the essence of the 'train-the-trainer' model. These alternatives lack the emphasis on empowering local individuals to take ownership of the training process, which is critical for fostering long-term capacity development and operational effectiveness in the context of Security Force Assistance.
