COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Design & Development of Group Training course. This program will equip you with the knowledge, planning skills, and instructional design techniques required to create structured, engaging, and outcomes-focused group training programs. You will explore the benefits of group training, the distinction between training and facilitation, and the importance of training and development in the workplace. This course also highlights how workplace training supports organisational improvement, enhances individual capability, and contributes to long-term performance growth.

This course begins by examining the benefits of group training and why training and development are essential components of modern workforce capability. You will explore the advantages that workplace training offers employees and employers, including skill enhancement, performance improvement, and increased engagement. This section also introduces the training process and explains how to identify learning requirements through assessment, observation, feedback, and performance data. You will examine common performance problems and their solutions, ensuring that training addresses genuine needs rather than symptoms.

The next learning area focuses on training objectives. You will explore why setting training objectives is essential, who benefits from them, and the differences between training aims and objectives. This section also examines who determines course objectives and how to write clear, measurable learning objectives that guide content, activities, and assessment. You will explore how to clarify learning objectives to ensure alignment between learner needs, organisational expectations, and instructional outcomes.

A further section introduces lesson planning and instructional structure. You will explore how to develop a lesson plan, why a lesson plan is necessary, and what should be included to support effective delivery. This section also introduces the three classifications of information typically delivered in training—knowledge, skills, and attitudes—and explains their role in shaping learning experiences.

The program then examines adult learning principles. You will explore how adults learn, including the guiding principles of learning behaviour such as relevance, self-direction, experience-based learning, and problem-centred approaches. This section also highlights the factors that impact the structure and content of any training course, such as learner backgrounds, workplace context, organisational goals, available resources, and time constraints.

The final learning area focuses on assembling a complete training structure. You will explore how to put together a lesson plan that is cohesive, engaging, and appropriately sequenced, and you will review guidelines for developing the core components of a lesson plan—including introductions, content delivery, activities, group engagement strategies, application exercises, and conclusion stages.

By the end of this course you will be able to analyse learning needs, write clear training objectives, design structured lesson plans, apply adult learning principles, and develop well-organised group training sessions that enhance workplace performance and support continuous professional development.
