Training Material

Overview

Effective training materials are built around learning outcomes, not just information transfer. They combine explanation, examples, and practice.

When to Use

  • Internal enablement and onboarding training
  • Workshops and instructor-led sessions
  • Self-paced learning guides
  • Sales or partner enablement content

Design Principles

  • Start from clear learning objectives
  • Chunk content into manageable sections
  • Mix explanation with examples and exercises
  • Include checks for understanding
  • Provide job aids or reference sheets for later use
  • Design for the delivery format (live, remote, self-paced)

Useful Components

  • Learning objectives
  • Agenda / flow
  • Core concept explanations
  • Worked examples
  • Practice exercises or scenarios
  • Summary and next steps
  • Reference / cheat sheet

Verification

  • Learners can state what they will be able to do after the training
  • Practice opportunities exist for key skills
  • Materials work in the intended delivery setting
