Training is an essential element of development in any organization. Being knowledgeable and continuing to learn throughout participants career can make them a very valuable asset. We also know that training and orientation for newly hired employees is a key factor in retention. This two-day workshop is designed for a trainer who wants to develop training programs that are meaningful, practical, and will benefit both trainees and the organizations they work for.

Highlights of what participants will learn:

• Describe the essential elements of a training program;
• Apply different methodologies to program design;
• Demonstrate skills in preparation, research, and delivery of strong content;
• Explain an instructional model;
• Be prepared to create a training program proposal

Course contents

• Introduction and Course Overview You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop.
• Program Design This session will explore some things that need to be considered before committing to developing a training program. We will also look at some situations where training is not appropriate and some alternatives to training.
• Identifying Needs Participants will look at how to determine what training is really necessary using the ICE method: Isolate, Consult, and Evaluate.
• The Training Model Next, we will explore a seven-step Instructional Systems Design Model. We will focus on adult learning and some basic principles that apply to developing training.
• The Program’s Basic Outline Next, participants will learn how to create the basic outline for the program by writing objectives for knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs).
• Evaluation Strategies Of course, it’s hard to know what you want to teach without knowing how you’ll know you’ve taught it! This session will look at evaluation methods and how they tie into learning objectives.
• Defining Your Approach This session will look at a basic method that participants can use to design their program. We will also explore some specific learning tools, including demonstrations, case studies, guided teaching, study groups, role plays, games and simulations, and e-learning.

• Creating Supporting Materials Most trainers prepare notes for themselves to use as they are teaching their program. This session will look at some other materials that can enhance your training program, including student guides, handouts, and electronic slides.
• Testing the Program Participants will discuss ways to test their training program before they deliver it.
• Creating Proposals Participants will learn how to organize and write a training proposal, and then they will apply the knowledge to a case study.
