Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are increasingly being used to support the delivery of training, as Learning & Development teams continue to face budgetary pressures to downsize and deliver more. However, SMEs are often ignored when it comes to professional development in training delivery skills, primarily due to the fact that line managers are under pressure not to release them for training and face budgetary constraints. The Training Foundation has developed a simple, effective and practical solution to this issue, which includes a one day programme giving SMEs critical TAP delivery skills.
