Develop and Deliver Training Professionally
Instructor Skills Online has compressed the skills of successful trainers into a cost-effective online course that can help new instructors, supervisors, outside consultants, or anyone to provide professional quality classroom training. Learn to avoid predictable errors that can result in knee-shaking stress, cost you money, or hurt your organization’s credibility.
Avoid these top 10 Classroom Killers:
- Presenting disorganized courses and lessons
- Ignoring learner preferences
- Failing to motivate students
- Not respecting the characteristics of adult learners
- Presenting unfathomable learning objectives
- Making common gaffe’s with handouts and visuals
- The introductory session from hell experience
- Leaving out learning interactivity
- Mis-communicating with students
- Delivering rage-provoking quiz questions
New corporate instructors or supervisors are often appointed and asked to design and deliver company training courses without formal teaching skills and experience. This course is also beneficial to outside consultants with content expertise but no teaching experience who are hired and expected to teach effectively in a corporate or educational setting.
Instructor Skills Online provides anyone with basic knowledge of proper course design, successful delivery techniques, and up-to-date research-based instructional skills before they meet their first class. It allows students to avoid the common errors made by novice instructors, design their courses to effectively engage student learning, and deliver the information in a professional manner. It can save thousands of dollars on outsourced ‘Train the Trainer’ programs, travel time and cost, and instill hard-to-acquire skills into your supervisory workforce quickly. Increased effectiveness of teaching results in increased confidence as well as enhanced workforce learning.
Organizations benefit both directly and indirectly from improved training delivery. Online training is available where and when needed and saves substantial costs on time and travel to train-the-trainer instructional skills workshops. New staff can receive immediate training for needed skills. Improved courses can result indirectly in improved learning and morale, lowered accident and absenteeism rates, and a better workplace culture.
