Introduction to Training

Introduction to Training offers an invaluable overview of all the activities and functions of training. It also provides useful insights into the skills and competencies needed by everyone involved in training. It covers:
- starting out - identifying business, departmental and individual training needs
- preparing the ground - understanding how competency frameworks and performance indicators help to establish clear learning objectives
- getting going - designing releant programmes, choosing learning methods, and delivering effective training sessions.
- checking progress - recording, monitoring and evaluating training effectiveness
- looking ahead - the changing role of the trainer as coach, self-development facilitator and performance improvement consultant
Here training is seen as an integral part of business improvement shared by supervisors, managers and specialist training providers.
