Training of Trainers: Design, Delivery and Evaluation in Amman

Programme Overview

This five-day professional programme in Amman equips public sector professionals and project specialists with the capabilities required to design, deliver, and evaluate high-impact learning initiatives. Grounded in established instructional design frameworks and adult learning principles, the course addresses the operational realities of public sector modernisation and institutional capacity development. Participants examine the complete instructional cycle, progressing from institutional training needs analysis to learner-centred delivery techniques, contemporary educational technology, and rigorous evaluation methodologies suitable for government institutions and development programmes.

Delivered through an intensive, hands-on structure, the workshop enables attendees to transition from technical subject specialists to competent facilitators of adult learning. The curriculum integrates the ADDIE framework, Kirkpatrick Four-Level Evaluation Model, and Bloom's Revised Taxonomy, adapting them directly to the contexts of public administrative reform and multi-stakeholder project environments. Facilitators guide participants through practical exercises, simulated classroom scenarios, and the creation of structured learning packages tailored to build sustainable capacity across public agencies.

Hosted in Amman, a regional hub for public administration and international development initiatives, the course provides an interactive forum for cross-organisational learning and knowledge exchange. Participants evaluate modern digital learning environments, explore hybrid instructional design, and develop actionable institutional monitoring frameworks. By the conclusion of the programme, each participant will have formulated an evidence-based training package and delivered a practical facilitation session, ensuring immediate operational applicability within their respective ministries, departments, or project implementation units.

Public institutions and donor-financed initiatives across developing and emerging economies face growing demands to implement complex policy reforms, digital governance systems, and capital investments. Achieving sustainable outcomes in operations funded by multilateral institutions such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, European Union, and United Nations agencies depends directly on institutional workforce readiness. Ministries and implementation agencies frequently lack internal cadres of certified facilitators capable of translating technical requirements into systematic, measurable, and scalable staff development programmes.

Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Amman, Jordan, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.

The Growing Importance of Training of Trainers: Design, Delivery and Evaluation in Amman

Governments and financiers want to know what changed, not only what was spent. Results frameworks, indicators and credible evidence now decide how programmes are judged and whether they receive further funding.

Many teams collect large amounts of data but struggle to turn it into decisions. Strong monitoring and evaluation links activities to results, shows progress early and supports learning across the institution.

Organisations increasingly require professionals capable of:

• Design results frameworks with measurable indicators
• Collect and check data that can be trusted
• Analyse progress and explain variances
• Plan and manage evaluations
• Use evidence to adjust plans and report results

Strong monitoring and evaluation systems help organisations:

• Show results clearly to financiers and citizens
• Detect delays and problems early
• Improve the quality of decisions
• Meet reporting and evaluation requirements

This Training of Trainers: Design, Delivery and Evaluation in Amman programme brings these elements together in a practical format, so that participants understand not only what good practice looks like but also how to introduce it in their own setting, with the people and resources they have.

Programme Contents and Structure

Training of Trainers: Design, Delivery and Evaluation in Amman Training Methodology

The training methodology is rooted in active, experiential learning designed specifically for adult professionals. Instruction balances interactive lectures with practical small-group exercises, peer reviews, and simulated instructional delivery. Each participant takes part in microteaching sessions where they facilitate a module and receive structured feedback based on standardised competency rubrics. Daily sessions utilise authentic templates and institutional case studies, ensuring participants translate theoretical instructional design frameworks into functional, high-quality training deliverables ready for organisational implementation.

The programme combines:

• Expert-led sessions on current practice
• Regional and international case studies
• Group work and practical exercises
• Simulations and role plays where relevant
• Discussion of participants' own challenges
• Peer learning across institutions and countries
• Practical tools and templates to take back to work
• Daily reflection and action planning

Before the programme, a short pre-assessment helps the facilitators understand each participant’s role and priorities, so that examples and exercises can be adjusted to the group. Each day ends with a short reflection in which participants note what they will apply at work.

Expected Outcomes

Upon completion of this Training of Trainers: Design, Delivery and Evaluation in Amman Training, participants will be able to:

• Design robust, competency-based curricula aligned with public sector development objectives and project operational manuals
• Apply adult learning principles and interactive instructional strategies to engage diverse civil service audiences
• Select and integrate appropriate digital tools and e-learning platforms for blended institutional training delivery
• Facilitate technical and policy workshops using structured group dynamics, microteaching, and active questioning techniques
• Develop multi-tier evaluation instruments applying the Kirkpatrick framework to capture learning gains and operational performance
• Construct standardised instructional materials, facilitator guides, and learner portfolios that ensure institutional continuity
• Design results frameworks with measurable indicators
• Set baselines and targets that can be tracked

Participants leave with a personal action plan and practical tools they can use in their institution from the first week back. Institutions that send several participants can use the programme to agree shared methods and templates across teams, which makes improvements easier to sustain.

Regional Relevance & Application

Europe

European institutions apply monitoring and evaluation within detailed regulatory frameworks and reform agendas. Participants from Europe can compare their practice with colleagues from other regions and test how established methods work under different conditions.

Africa

Across Africa, ministries, agencies and project teams working in monitoring and evaluation increasingly operate alongside donor-financed programmes that expect clear systems and evidence. The programme helps participants adapt good practice to the institutions and resources they work with.

Middle East

In the Middle East, national development strategies and diversification plans place growing demands on monitoring and evaluation. Participants explore how to build the capability these plans need inside public bodies and companies.

Asia

Institutions across Asia combine rapid growth with ambitious modernisation programmes. Participants from Asia can share their experience of scaling systems quickly and learn from approaches used elsewhere.

Pacific

Small island and Pacific states face particular constraints of size, distance and capacity. The programme highlights practical, proportionate approaches to monitoring and evaluation that suit smaller institutions.

Holding the programme in Amman, Jordan brings participants together away from their daily pressures, so they can compare how monitoring and evaluation is handled in different settings. The same programme can also be delivered in-house for one institution, in its own country or online, with cases taken from its current work.
