Positions in this sector can cover a wide range of disciplines; from the various facets of IT, such as desktop support, programming, network installation and management; to HR, health and safety, and communications. The remuneration levels often vary considerably from one industry to another, but highly-skilled trainers will always be in-demand and well-compensated, as long as their area of technical focus is relevant
Some trainer positions involve working at senior levels in the corporate environment and will demand the ability to communicate well with decision makers and high-powered executives. Other roles involve working closely with people who depend on the advice and guidance given to make key life choices. The rewards can be much greater than financial compensation
Trainer positions in the IT world will generally require the ability to demonstrate relevant technical expertise. Many roles require the ability to work in teams and report to managers, though self-starters with the ability to develop coursework and manage student assessment are at a distinct advantage. Compensation levels vary quite widely, depending on the area of instruction, but typically range between £18,000 and £30,000.
