Description

Best practices for on-the-job training. Benchmark your skills training against training standards and other companies.

Your role includes “trainer” although your title may be “team leader.” Instructional skills are a critical skill in all supervisors’ toolkits.

Are you an instructor or facilitator? Do you have a training plan? Learn to fit your approach to the needs of the learner.

A four-step training model you can apply to your training. Watch for “chunk
size” and discover how to identify when the learner needs to practice.

Left brain versus right brain thinking styles affect teaching and learning outcomes. Discover your learner’s favored style, match it with your instructional
style, and quickly build confidence and competence.

Training tools – check lists, job aids, tracking charts – which ensure consistency
and quality.

Not all problems are solved by training. Identify why some people do not perform as expected. Learn how to separate training issues from management and
motivation problems.

Learners’ competency levels challenge all trainers. Explore inherent learning
challenges, and ways to avoid self-fulfilling prophecies about ‘difficult students.’

Training styles and learning styles can clash or mesh. Practice adapting to four types of learners. Learn to modify your training to engage each learner’s style.
