TRAINING METHODOLOGY

It takes insight, experience, dedication, and discipline to design and develop a successful training program.

Full Focus Consulting works to understand each client's needs and then develops a customized training plan that gives a clear picture of what skills are needed to meet those requirements.

We have developed a training methodology, Instructional Design Cycle, which insures that training programs and materials are developed in an effective and efficient manner. This approach helps us to identify and determine the who, what, when, where, why, and how of training.

Phases of the Instructional Design Cycle:

  1. Analysis.  Determine what results are needed from the employees, if employees are accomplishing those results, and identify the training needed to accomplish those results.
    • Analyze the organization to gain a complete understanding
    • Compile a task inventory of all tasks associatd with each job
    • Select the tasks which need training
    • Build performance measures
    • Choose instructional setting
    • Estimate cost
    • Develop project plan
    • Establish project scope and objectives

  2. Design.  Finalize the method or model to achieve the objectives.
    • Develop the learning objectives
    • Identify and list the learning steps required to perform the task
    • Develop the performance tests to show mastery of those tasks
    • Sequence and structure the learning objectives

  3. Develop.  Diagram or outline the necessary activities that will assist the users in reaching their course goals. The end result is the completed instructional courseware.
    • List activities that will help the students learn the task
    • Choose the learning strategies and supporting media to assist users in mastering the tasks
    • Review existing material so you do reinvent the wheel
    • Validate the instruction to ensure it accomplishes the objectives

  4. Implement.  Deliver the course in the classroom.
    • Create a management plan for conducting the training
    • Conduct the training
    • Collect and anlayze feedback of the course
    • Revise courseware to correct any errors

  5. Evaluate.  How are we doing? Ensure that the process is working correctly and to identify improvements..
    • Review and evaluate each phase to ensure it is accomplishing what it is supposed to do
    • Perform external evaluations (observer whether the tasks that were trained can actually be performed by the user on the job
    • Revise training courseware to make it better
    • Revise courseware to correct any errors
