Train-the-Trainer

Effective delivery depends on selecting the right trainers. Internal trainers must meet the trainer profile and attend the Train-the-Trainer course to attain certification to train fellow employees. They present a module of the BitSafe course and are evaluated against set criteria; those deemed competent receive a Sabita certificate of competency valid for three years. Companies without suitable employees can nominate external candidates to be trained as external trainers.
