COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Effective Workplace Training Techniques course. This program will equip you with the knowledge and capabilities required to understand the vital role of training, the need for training in organisations, and the essential link between workforce development and organisational performance. You will examine the difference between training and learning, how training develops people’s potential, and how structured learning pathways contribute to excellence across job functions, teams, and organisational systems.

This course begins by examining how to manage training effectively and how the stages of training, including training needs analysis, the skills survey, and performance appraisal, provide the foundation for targeted and measurable development. This section explains the kinds of training available, including induction training and on-the-job training, the differences between coaching, mentoring and facilitating, and how attitude training and ongoing training contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.

Another area of learning explores the models of learning that underpin training design. You will examine the Pedagogy model of learning, the Andragogy model, the Experiential Learning model, Kolb’s model, Behaviour Modelling, the Multiple Intelligences model, and the Instructing model of learning. This section explains the STEER Coaching Model, the GROW Coaching Model, and the roles of mentoring and self-programming in promoting learner autonomy and long-term development.

A further area of learning focuses on designing a training course. You will explore how to identify training objectives, how to plan a course, and the environmental conditions required for an effective training session. This section explains the importance of management support in training, how to run a course, how to conduct pre-course contact with trainees, why checking the training room and materials is essential, and how to manage course introductions, presentations, feedback sessions, breaks, reviews and endings. You will also examine how to deal with anxiety and how the broader process of training can be structured to maximise engagement.

The next area of learning covers the use of group-work and interactive training techniques. You will explore quick and relaxing icebreakers for training, group exercises, group role play exercises, team building games, the Sigma Ray Emitter exercise, the team performance exercise, and how to apply the Enneagram personality typology in group dynamics. This section explains the characteristics of the Linguistic Learner, Interpersonal Learner, Modelling Learner, Intrapersonal Learner, Visual Learner, Mathematical Learner, Kinaesthetic Learner, Auditory Learner, and Intuitive Learner, and how these learning preferences shape training participation and skill acquisition.

Another area of learning addresses how to become a resourceful trainer. You will explore the barriers to learning, how to adapt your style to match learner needs, and the key accelerated learning principles that support retention and behavioural change. This section explains the Triple Vision of the trainer, how to evaluate training using multiple methods, and the importance of assessments for measuring learning outcomes.

The final area of learning examines evaluation techniques used to measure the effectiveness of workplace training. You will explore how to evaluate performance, how to apply Future Pacing evaluation techniques, how to use the Action Planning evaluation technique, and how to measure skills reliably. This section explains the Conscious-Competence Ladder evaluation technique and how it provides a structured method for assessing learner confidence and capability growth.

By the end of this course you will be able to analyse training needs, select appropriate learning models, design structured and engaging courses, plan and run training sessions effectively, manage learning environments, apply coaching and mentoring techniques, incorporate group exercises and learning styles, overcome barriers to learning, evaluate training impact using multiple assessment frameworks, and use advanced evaluation techniques to strengthen training effectiveness and organisational performance.
