Overview:

This interactive, hands-on course will help participants discover the skills and techniques needed to effectively develop and deliver training to the adult learner – so they will retain it and do something with it! If you do any training or if you'd like to learn how to, this is a course for you! I’ll share many of my secrets and we’ll spend time talking about how to even make “dull” training fun and participant-focused.

Objectives:

As a result of this program, you should be able to:

• Describe how adults learn and retain information best.
  
• Explain the 4 Steps of the Accelerated Learning Cycle and how it can help make training and learning happen more quickly and effectively.
  
• Determine (if you’re running short on time) what might be the most important step(s) not to skip, keeping in mind it’s not about getting through the material, it’s about what participants retain and understand and put into practice.

Participant Perspective:

“After attending The Secrets of Developing, Designing, & Delivering Effective Training, I was so excited to implement all the great tips and techniques you taught us. We totally changed how we presented the information, we changed the handouts, got rid of the PowerPoint that we always used, and made it very interactive with group activities. We only spent about a day planning and making the changes. It was so easy to do!

A participant evaluation from our training said, “You two did an amazing job today…” Not only do I think the participants got more out of the training, but I enjoyed presenting the information even more.”
