The growing awareness of the big differences between teachers has led to an ongoing dialogue among educators, researchers, and policy makers on how to improve teaching practices. The highly optimised structured teaching (HOST) teaching method is an effective and efficient teaching framework using evidence-based strategies and an innovative teaching structure. This study introduces the result of using the HOST teaching method in a train the trainer programme. A random group of trained participants in the training of trainer program was selected and asked to self-assess their learning by answering a questionnaire about their knowledge and skills they gained from the programme. Then the effect size of HOST intervention is calculated by comparing the pre and post self-assessment scores. The result shows a very high effect of the HOST teaching method. The study concluded that the HOST method is recommended to be used in training.
