Training design is like painting on a canvas. You have to visualize your painting before even marking a first stroke by your brush! And despite having very clear idea of what you want to paint, you need to be open and prepared for the interim additions of colours, stokes, shading and also for letting go some of the ideas to do better justice to the painting. You need to be prepared with your paints & brushes and chronology of your strokes is important to ensure the beauty of the painting.

In a technical language, “The #TrainingDesign is a detailed plan where the course content is arranged in a logical manner to enable the trainees to learn maximum from the course content, ensuring that the training goals and objectives are achieved”.

#TrainingNeedsAssessment forms the basis for training design and also helps in deciding the approach of the training. certain important considerations while designing a training program are,

~ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 of the training needs in the training program
~ As the trainees are adults & experienced people, they want to learn purposeful, useful, interesting, new ideas from the training program
~ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬 helps in addressing different learning needs, breaks monotony and motivates the trainees
~ Training activities weaved in such a manner that they gradually move 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 so that the trainees get absorbed into them and their interest levels get retained
~ Design a 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 in such a manner that it changes attitudes of trainees to move on to knowledge improvement & paves the way for development of required skills
~ 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬, which will help in comprehensive learning
~ The number of participants, their backgrounds, Day and timing as well as duration of the training and frequency – all this impact an effectiveness of the training program and hence need to be planned wisely

It is a responsibility of the training designer to come up with an orderly, motivating, purposeful & interesting training program. The training is planned & conducted to facilitate learning and ensuring that it gets transferred to actual job situation.

Hence the ‘𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠’ plays an important role. Let’s discuss the same in the next post. Till then feel free to add your unique strokes to this painting…
