Certified Trainer - Retail, Attractions, and Kids Entertainment

Are you ready to train the Pack?

Certified Trainers will be the first to guide new Pack Members through a structured program that takes a

blended approach to learning by utilizing Great Wolf U (e-learning), classroom training, and on-the-job

training.

To become a Certified Trainer (CT), you will go through a half-day of interactive training focused on adult

learning principles, how to adjust your training style to meet the learner's needs, how to facilitate

classroom training and much more.

As a Certified Trainer, you will guide the trainee through daily training agendas in Great Wolf U, mentor

them during on-the-job training shifts, and sign-off on their daily progress. You will also learn how to

communicate with your fellow trainers and leaders to ensure that every new Pack Member is well

trained and ready to deliver ImPACKful Service to our guests.
