Session Description
For Intermediate/Advanced participants, we’ll take a “deeper dive” into relevant adult learning principles and how a trainer can add additional strategies in the design and delivery of training content. A working understanding of learning psychology will enable the trainer to more effectively manage the learners while they are training through responsive interactions, activities and discussions. There will be interactive review of developing learning objectives and how training content should relate to those objectives. Participants will examine various training presentation skills that are designed to engage learners to make their trainings enjoyable, interesting and the content memorable.
