Within this Training The Trainers (3Ts) course  participants have the chances to further develop their competencies as trainers. The competence to understand and facilitate individual and group learning processes.

1. The competence to design educational programmes.
2. The competence to direct one´s own learning (Learning to Learn)
3. The competence to co-operate successfully in teams.
4. The competence to communicate meaningfully with others.
5. Intercultural competence.

Participants enter the 3Ts-course with various levels of prior experience as trainers as well as competences developed - consequently, the learning needs of participants are different. The educational approach implemented in the 3Ts-course intends to allow for these different learning needs to be identified and pursued. At the core of this process is the competence of the participant to direct his/her own learning. The group as a source for peer learning and the trainers as facilitators of these learning processes are essential pillars of this approach.
