Course Outline


The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Characteristics of Exceptional Trainers

Some trainers are excellent. Some are less than stellar. Most fall in between. This foundation module defines the characteristics of exceptional trainers and what it takes to become one of the best. Further, it explores the pitfalls poor trainers fall in and how to avoid them.

"Not Just for Kids" - Understanding Adult Learning Principles
Adult learners are unique: they are people with years of experience; they have established values, beliefs and opinions; and they have a deep need to be self-directing. This module explains adult learning principles and learning styles. Using Business Training Works’ signature diagnostic tool, The Communication Jungle, participants will identify their own training styles, the styles of their different types of adult learners, and how to adjust to each for better learning.

Picture Perfect - What a Solid Training Program Looks Like
This module reviews the elements of a successful training program. From needs analysis to evaluation, the components of effective training are explained.

Needs Analysis - From Performance Gap to Objectives
Whether a trainer is developing a program from scratch or teaching existing material, a needs analysis is critical. How do you know if your training dollar is being spent wisely? Is training the best solution for improving skills? Using a six step model, participants will learn how to determine what their participants think is important, what they don’t know that they need in order to do their jobs, if training is the best approach for acquiring those skills, and how to write solid training objectives.

The Trainers’ Tool Chest - Icebreakers, Energizers, and Activities That Teach
Active training equals effective learning when done well. When done poorly, however, activities fail to tie to learning objectives. This module introduces 25 proven "training games" and how to use them for maximum impact to keep learning fresh and energetic.

Know-It-Alls, Talkers, and Bullies - Managing Hecklers
It is sometimes said that, "there is one in every group." A difficult person makes the job of the trainer a challenge at best. Learning how to manage those learners who, "don’t want to be in training," is an essential skill of top trainers. This module explores handling difficult people and how to turn them into active participants in the learning process.

Flip Charts, Power Point, and Slides - Effective Visual Aids
Choosing and using visual aids is an integral part of the training process. This module reviews available options and the benefits and drawbacks of each.
