Training is essentially instructing others in information new to them

and its application. It may and often does, involve the teaching of new skills, methods and procedures

Training, Teaching and Doing

Learning is finding out what you already know,

Teaching is reminding yourself that you know it,

Doing is demonstrating to others, you know it

We are all learners, teachers and doers.

Teaching provides knowledge in

theory and practice of concepts, facts

and practices.

Training provides the experience to

understand this knowledge and

transform it into real time application.

Develop existing skills?

Provide new skills?

Improve existing levels of competence?

Impart knowledge and understanding?

ENVIRONMENT

Trainer attitude & behaviour

You also have to pay attention to yourself when you talk to participants because:

• You are exposed:- Pay attention to your body language, clothing, movements, and you have to ensure that you project what you want to project.

• You Are The Example:- You will be surprised after a long training program how many people will copy your behavior and your talking style

• You Are Responsible:- The words you say, the movements you make and the messages you send will be remembered and occasionally quoted

• You Are A Trainer Not A Teacher:- You have to transfer knowledge as something participants can use and benefit from not just as downloading information.

Trainer attitude & behaviour

When you are delivering a program or a presentation, you have to keepthe following in mind

When something is said it is not necessarily heard.When something is heard it is not necessarily understood.When something is understood it is not necessarily agreed with.When something is agreed with it is not necessarily remembered.When something is remembered it is not necessarily applied. When something is applied it is not necessarily upheld.

PROVEN WAYS FOR A TRAINER TO FAIL

Lack of participant’s interest or motivationLack of discipline in class-non-adherence to ground rulesExtreme proximity or low level of interaction with the participantsFocus on a group or some selected participantsTalking too muchPretend to be an ‘expert’ or ‘know it all’Low level of listening
