What
is Training?
Learning is acquisition of knowledge and
skills and training is the process of facilitating learning.
An effective training is one where a
trainer
·
Understands the requirements of the trainee (what does the
trainee want to learn?) and thus come out with objectives.
·
Understands the trainees capabilities (level of knowledge
and skills)
·
Uses the above information to decide the best way to impart
training
This is somewhat like saying that a
doctor understands a patient, decides on the medicines to be administered and
also a way to get the medicine into the body (oral, injection etc.).
Unless there is a 'synchronization'
between the trainer and the trainee, the training cannot be effective.
What is the training
approach at LearningCentre ?
·
Customize : Each training programme is customized
to meet the objectives and the background of trainees. (Basically we decide the
starting point, end point and the path to traverse).
·
Activate Group Learning :Trainees
are put into groups 'similar' type (same level of knowledge / skills and same
objectives) and provide a channel for their interaction with each other and the
trainer. This is done through the Interaction Page
.
·
Use Problem Solving as front-end :
Application of knowledge and skill is the key to problem solving. Each training
programme creates a ‘base level’ of knowledge and skill on which more knowledge
and skills are added through problem solving.
·
Make the right mix of concepts and practice : Both
concepts and practice are important and proper mix of the two makes training
effective.
·
Mode of delivery of information: Training programmes are conducted
partly through contact sessions and partly through the web.
