Most Communications Training Officer (CTO) courses focus heavily on paperwork, including forms, checklists, and daily observation reports. However, being an effective CTO requires far more than completing documentation. At its core, successful training is about people: understanding how they learn, how they think, and how to help them thrive in one of the most demanding professions there is.
In this interactive course, we shift the focus away from the forms and toward the human side of training. You will explore how to adapt your approach to different learning styles, manage a variety of personalities, and deliver feedback that builds trust and confidence rather than fear or frustration. Through real-world scenarios and practical exercises, we will examine how to balance coaching with accountability, empower trainees to grow into capable professionals, and navigate the complex dynamics that come with mentoring adults in a high-stakes environment.
Whether you are a brand-new trainer or a seasoned CTO looking to refresh your approach, this course will equip you with the mindset and skills needed to train not just competent call takers, but future teammates you are proud to work alongside.
