The Train the Trainer course guide explains exactly how to take the course, the work to complete, and the time frames involved.

This course is much different from your generic 'how to train' course. It's created by National Realtor Educator of the Year, Washington Realtor Educator of the Year and former master CRB (Certified Real Estate Broker) instructor Carla Cross.

Companies, teams, and associations: Present a customized Train the Trainer hybrid course to your team. This will propel your instructors and courses to 'exceptional'.

How it works: 'Hybrid' is a combination of taking the course virtually, coupled with 'live' instructor-led sessions. Carla and your attendees will 'meet' via Zoom once a week for a 45-minute session for 4 weeks. She will personally coach, review work, answer questions, and help attendees get ready for the next week.

Motivation and support built in! Want to know more? Contact Carla at 425-392-6914 or email her at carla@carlacross.com.

Available with a registration of 5 or more participants at once.

About the hybrid course from a participant:

Carla's  {hybrid}Train the Trainer course was very practical and offered opportunities for her students to immediately practice some of the skills explored in the class. It was particularly practical as we headed into more virtual learning with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The resources offered by Carla Cross during her instruction and afterward proved to be very valuable to me as I started teaching courses at our local realtor association in eastern Washington.
