WINTER 2008 COURSE: How to Design and Teach High-Impact Training Programs

Format: Two-day session

Who should attend? Anyone responsible for learning and development, creating courses, training trainers, or supporting in-firm coaching.

What is this seminar?

Could your in-house training programs have more impact? Do your trainers need to improve their teaching skills? Do your managers need help ensuring that new learning is actually used on the job? This course offers learning that will help you improve your in-firm training programs in three ways:

  • Better teaching skills and methods for trainers

  • Improved curriculum design and delivery tools

  • Coaching tools for managers to boost on-the-job use of new learning

Our professional development experts, Joe Rei, Cheryl May and “employer of choice” specialist and author, Leigh Branham, will teach you:

  • how to design training programs that have a performance impact,

  • ways to improve the programs you already have,

  • how to train others to teach your courses effectively,

  • coaching methods for managers to support on the job use of new tools.

We'll use our considerable experience in Project Management training as the focus for this course. Leigh Branham will use his recent research in PM competencies to help you understand how to:

  • identify the competencies your firm needs to have,

  • relate those competencies to the firm's current capacity and identify knowledge gaps,

  • develop the capacity to fill those knowledge gaps through training and coaching methods.

You will learn how to design training programs that have a performance impact on your firm, how to improve the programs you already have, how to support that learning through coaching on the job.

While the topic for this session is Project Management, this skill set can be used to develop any training curriculum and prepare trainers to teach any topic.
