POSH Train the Trainer Certification Program

Build internal POSH trainers who can lead workplace sessions with clarity, confidence, and legal awareness

The POSH Train the Trainer Certification Program is designed for organisations that want to build strong internal capability for POSH awareness training. It equips internal trainers to explain workplace sexual harassment prevention clearly, handle sensitive conversations with maturity, respond to employee questions responsibly, and deliver sessions that are practical, respectful, and legally informed. The program helps organisations create trainer-ready teams that can strengthen employee awareness, support workplace dignity, and build a stronger prevention-led culture.

Why Should You Join?

Build strong in house POSH training capability: This program is designed for organisations that want their own internal trainers to conduct POSH awareness sessions with clarity, consistency, and confidence. Instead of depending only on external facilitators, your team can build internal capability that is closer to your workplace culture, employee realities, and communication style.

Train internal facilitators the right way: Under the POSH framework, employers are expected to create awareness, conduct training, and support a safe workplace environment. Official guidance also places clear importance on employee awareness programmes and orientation for Internal Committee members, which makes trainer readiness especially important.

How Does This Work and How Will It Help You?

This program prepares internal trainers to conduct POSH awareness sessions in a way that is practical, respectful, and legally informed. It combines the legal foundation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 with trainer-focused skills such as explaining sensitive topics clearly, handling difficult questions responsibly, using workplace scenarios appropriately, and knowing when to escalate a matter instead of trying to resolve it within the session.

It is designed to help trainers become strong awareness facilitators, not inquiry officers. That distinction is important because complaint handling, conciliation, inquiry, and recommendations sit within a separate formal process under the law.

Why does this program matter?

A POSH session should not feel like a policy reading or a legal lecture. It should help employees understand workplace dignity, appropriate conduct, boundaries, reporting pathways, and the importance of a respectful work environment in a way that feels clear and relevant. This program helps trainers deliver that experience properly.

What makes this program different?

This is not a standard POSH awareness course created for employees. This is a trainer-readiness program built specifically for internal facilitators. It focuses on helping the learner understand POSH correctly and deliver it correctly. That means the program develops both subject clarity and delivery capability together.

What is this program designed to do?

This program is designed to prepare trainers to conduct employee POSH awareness sessions in a way that is structured, respectful, and workplace-ready. It helps them explain the subject clearly, handle questions more responsibly, manage sensitive discussions with maturity, and understand when a matter must be redirected to the appropriate internal process.

Why is internal trainer readiness valuable?

Internal trainers often understand the organisation’s culture, language, and employee context better than outside facilitators. When they are trained well, POSH sessions become more relevant, more consistent, and more sustainable across teams and locations. This helps the organisation build long-term internal capability instead of relying only on one-time external interventions.
