## Prompt

```text
Help me plan a train-the-trainer program so internal people can deliver a course or training consistently.

**Course they will deliver:** [topic, length, format - in person / virtual / blended]
**Learners they will teach:** [roles, number, locations, languages]
**Who the trainers are:** [e.g. "experienced supervisors with no teaching experience", "subject matter experts"]
**Number of trainers and timeline:** [DETAILS]
**Materials we already have:** [slides, facilitator guide, activities, assessments]
**Constraints:** [budget, time away from regular work, tools]

Give me:
1. **Trainer selection criteria:** subject knowledge, communication, credibility, and availability, and how to assess them.
2. **Program outline:** sessions covering the course content itself, how adults learn, facilitation skills (asking questions, managing discussion, handling difficult participants), running each activity, virtual delivery skills if relevant, and assessing learners.
3. **Practice teaching:** each trainer delivers sections of the real course and gets feedback using a simple observation rubric. Include the rubric.
4. **Trainer toolkit:** what goes in it - facilitator guide with timings, slide notes, activity instructions, FAQs and tricky questions with answers, and a setup checklist.
5. **Certification:** what a trainer must show before teaching alone, and co-delivery with an experienced trainer first.
6. **Keeping quality consistent:** learner feedback, periodic observation, a trainer community or check-in, and how to update materials across all trainers.
7. **Timeline** from selection to first solo delivery.

Keep it practical for trainers who have full-time jobs.
