    Dear all,
    I am looking for references and information on designing "Train-the-
    Trainers" programmes for Management/business educators. I was tasked
    recently to propose a modular-based Management Development Programme for
    business/management educators and consultants/trainers.

    The target group would consist of business and management professors coming
    mainly from universities and consulting firms/training centres in the Arab
    world. Currently, there is an apparent and clear disconnection between
    Business Schools and their local corporate communities in the Arab world.
    The goal is to expand the current role of Business Schools from business and
    management education into executive education and training to their business
    communities.


    The overall all objective of the programme is capacity building in Arab
    Business and Management Schools to be able to provide modern management
    development & training workshops to their business and corporate
    communities. The curriculum of the TOT would include workshops on IT-based
    delivery of management training and development courses in addition to the
    different adults learning theories. The total length of the programme would
    about 9 weeks and divided into three residential modules of 3 weeks each (in
    Granada) with one month between modules using distance learning platform.

    Information and suggestions on design issues and what the curriculum should
    include would be highly appreciated. Finally, I would be very interested
    know of any Management Development Programme for management trainers and
    consultants.

    Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
