Train The Trainer | What next?

    While I have seen a few previous threads on this, they were dated 2011, and I was reluctant to bump. But mods, feel free to merge with a similar topic, if need be.

    So, to keep myself busy while job seeking (both @ home and abroad) I have been taking a FETAC 'Train the Trainer' course:

    http://public.fetac.ie/AwardsLibraryPdf/E30179_AwardSpecifications_English.pdf

    Mainly to upskill and possibly train others on my 'occupational competencies' at a later date, either as a self-employed trainer/coach or within an organization.

    Where I am stuck is in figuring out what I should do with this certification; once qualified. I've been doing the research online (mostly on linkdin) and it seems that this cert. alone will not set me up as a trainer.

    So, for example; my main skills, are web related (design) and everything that comes along with it (Photoshop, SEO, SEM, HTML5, Java ...) and skill no. 2 is languages and specifically teaching (ESL).

    Now, I'm not asking for life advice here; but for anyone with an interest, experience with training/coaching ... is there a general path for this (e.g. more certification, networking, offer seminars/training to become recognised) or are trainers expected to find their own path.

    I've been studying reent publications, resources and job sites (e.g. http://lmi.fas.ie/Chart.aspx?bc=72) and their 'is' work there, but what I'm lacking are some actionable steps.
