What makes training effective?
Think of a training experience you have had thatwas effective.– What was the context of the learning experience? – How was the material presented that made this
experience so different? – What was the mood of the trainer? – What impressed you the most? – Do you still remember what you learned?
Training Needs Analysis
• Identify the problem • Gather information• Analyse the information • Develop recommendations
Planning the Training SessionBuilding a Training Program
Points to consider ……………………………..• Assess• Design• Develop• Implement• Evaluate
Pre-Assessment
• What do you need to know?– Who are you training?– The existing knowledge of training participants– Identify the gaps in what they know and what they
need to know– How the training will help them accomplish their
work– The type of training they have already experienced
Training Program - Design
• Primary questions – What do I want learners to be able to do as a
result of the training program?– What methods will I use to assist them to reach
this level of performance and knowledge?– What resources will be used to deliver this training
program?– How will this training be structured overall?
Implement
• Primary questions to answer when delivering training:– Is the trainer prepared to facilitate the learning
experiences in an engaging manner?– Have the appropriate training materials been
developed?– Have questions been developed to challenge
learners?
Develop
• Before the training course• During the training course• At the end of the training course
Evaluation• Primary questions to answer when evaluating
training:– How can you assess if the learning outcomes are
being addressed adequately during the development and delivery of training?
– How can you evaluate the effectiveness of a training program immediately after the delivery of training?
– How can you evaluate whether the learning from the training is being applied in a work setting after completing a training program?
Training methods
