“Training is the most expensive Human Resources Development (HRD) measure”, many say that. After people get trained, nothing happens. They continue performing their tasks in the same manner. They have not or only occasionally applied the new know-hows or skills in their reality. To increase the effectiveness of training measures, the key success factors and enablers are: enabling participants to be active, supporting them in making experiences and initiating reflection for the transfer of training contents into daily practice. In this training, the participants will exchange their experiences on how adults learn best and how to design and conduct training that enables personnel competency development. They will take their current training activities for application exercise and get peer feedback through the whole training cycle.

At the end of the training, the participants will have

• enhanced their capacities in tailoring training plans to the respective needs of a group by being aware of core approaches of training needs analysis
• strengthened their attitudes, tools and skills of a training developer when it comes to developing training courses and to designing related material
• widened their knowledge and experience concerning selecting and applying training methods
• developed the core elements of a self-selected training plan
• applied and deepened the learning in practical exercises

• The basics of a training needs analysis
• The basics of didactics and methodics of training courses
• Tools for designing training courses
• Methods for teaching and participative trainings
• Development of elements of training plans

Organisational remarks

• This course is the same course as face-to-face course “Effective Training Design and Management” that is offered at AIZ BKK.
• Participants need to fill in self-assessment questionnaire prior to the training, so that the trainer can assess and adjust the training to be closer to the group demand. However, the balance between the individual, group and topic content will be applied.

Registration is open until 20 days before the course starts. If you would like to enroll after this period, feel free to contact chayapan.dulyarat@giz.de to check available seat.
