Who will benefit by attending?

^{This workshop is designed to help ‘non
trainers’ who, as part of their jobs, train on an occasional basis. It
covers the basic skills for developing and conducting effective training.}

^{Workshop
content:}

	^{Applying adult learning principles in developing and conducting training to increase training effectiveness.}
	^{Analyzing learning requirements in terms of: statement of training need; training required; the learner; training content; timing issues; physical requirements.}
	^{Identifying and developing learning objectives that describe to learners what they will be able to do as a result of the training.}
	^{Outlining the training content. Actions the learner must perform and the knowledge required to perform in order to meet the learning objectives.}
	^{Selecting appropriate training methods including: case study; demonstration; group discussion; reading; structured exercise; and trainer presentation.}
	^{Developing and using training aids including how to prepare and use: videotape; handouts; flipcharts and the overhead projector.}

	^{Three considerations in handling problem situations.}
	^{Practise training. Using all of the knowledge and skills learned during the workshop in the preparation and conducting of a training plan.}
	^{Using the training skills learned, back on the job. Identification of ways to transfer the newly acquired training skills to the participant’s work setting.}

Workshop outcomes:

^{At the end of the workshop
the participants will be able to develop a training plan geared to the
learning needs of adults and conduct training using the training plan they
developed.}

Duration:

Four Days.
