What makes a good trainer?

The effectiveness and even the integrity of the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment has been the centre of public discussions for a few years now. A lot of people ask me to describe how this qualification can help RTOs improve their performance. Can it help graduates know how to unpack units of competency better? Be better presenters? Use PowerPoint slides in some magical way? Or prepare more structured sessions? Do they need to gather more assessment evidence from learners? There's a lot we could talk about. But if I were to start somewhere, I'd say a person who holds TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is someone who should be able to practice a learner-focused approach to learning, and provide industry relevant training.
When was the last time you were in a room with a truly exceptional facilitator—where the group was engaged, progress was being made, and issues were raised and then resolved? For me, a great facilitator makes it look like magic; however, we all know it's not that easy.
