1. The Introduction

An effective training program must begin with capability gaps and work results that need improvement, not merely a list of topics to teach. When objectives are unclear or methods are not aligned with learners, training is unlikely to create the expected change.

The course provides a process from needs analysis, learner identification and learning outcomes to content structure, learning methods, materials and evaluation activities. Learners practice building a training program outline that can be applied in their organization.

The “Building Effective Training Programs” program is suitable for people responsible for internal training or capability development activities in enterprises.
