PPT training programmes are based on participative techniques, which involve the trainee in exercises and discussion rather than employing a lecturing style. This has been shown to improve retention of information and increase motivation and confidence.

Where in-house instructors and course tutors carry out the training, PPT provides two courses designed to give them the necessary skills to deliver effective on-farm or classroom- based training.

This 1½ day course is for on-farm instructors who will be delivering training using the PPT Pig Skills Manuals system. It teaches the use of questioning techniques in order to get the trainee to think and deals with the methods that can be used to teach a practical skill. It also addresses how to correct trainee errors in an appropriate way and during the course there is a focus on practicing new techniques leading up to the delivery of one of the PPT Skills.



The 3½ day “Training Skills” course teaches a wide range of participative techniques that are employed in the PPT Pig Management Courses. This style of teaching has proved highly effective because they involve trainees in discussions, exercises and other activities, which facilitate “learning through doing”.

There is ample time during the course for practising the techniques in small groups. The course also deals with effective use of visual aids and the requirements for a training venue. Sections of the PPT Pig Management Courses are used during practice and by delegates for their final presentations.

The skills learned in this course are not only valuable to the dedicated trainer but to anyone involved in managing people, giving presentations, selling to or advising customers and clients.



Once company instructors and tutors have gained some experience in delivering PPT programmes, it is beneficial to have some further coaching from PPT staff. This can give an enormous boost to the trainer’s skills and confidence, increasing their effectiveness.
