Course Overview:
The 1-day Moderator training aims to equip Human Factors Moderators with a toolkit of Moderation techniques for conducting Front-End usability research, Formative evaluations and Summative Evaluations.
This course covers Moderation Techniques for each type of study, Moderation Best Practice and Moderation Troubleshooting skills for handling difficult moderation scenarios. This course also assesses each delegates moderation style and provides them with real-time feedback on their moderation approach. The course is then designed to provide mentoring and coaching to new and experienced Moderators to further develop their moderation skill set.

Course Overview:
Once you complete the 1-day Moderator training, delegates can take part in a further 1-day intensive moderator course where they will receive one-to-one mentoring and assessment of their moderation approach. Here participants are brought in and moderators are expected to conduct one Formative and one Summative Evaluation. They are provided with a full in-depth play-by-play analysis on their technique for reflection and self-improvement purposes.
On successful completion of the Advanced Training, delegates will be awarded an ITOL (Institute of Training and Occupation Learning) Certificate of Moderation to become a certified Human Factors Moderator.
Our Advanced Human Factors Moderator Training is available on request and dates are flexible.

What is a custom training course?
A custom training programme is a training course that is specially tailored to suit your individual company’s Human Factors training needs.
Clients can choose to base their custom course on one of our platform courses with case studies and examples tailored to their industry sector or alternatively we can develop a training course following a day’s review of a client’s internal processes for Human Factors to assist with any gaps in knowledge.
All of our customised training programmes are developed with you and as part of that process, we actively engage delegates and key company stakeholders to ensure that as we develop the course, everyone in attendance will get their questions answered.
Our customised training programmes are typically 1-3 days duration and conducted on-site at your facility. If you are interested in hearing more about a customised training programme, please send your enquiry to info@humanfactorscentre.co.uk
