This Workshop looks at the general descriptions of the roles of the trainer. In practice, the roles of staff can be diverse, depending on department/unit structure, decentralization, the staffing profile of the department/unit and other features of the overall organization. Participants will be asked to define their own roles and responsibilities as members of their Training Units.

The term ‘learning’ has many interpretations, but is accepted as a change in behavior or attitude. It is not intended that in this Workshop we analyze the theories behind adult learning, but it is intended to put forward some of the accepted principles of adult learning. The principles presented in this Workshop deal with training and education, and are common to the formal classroom setting as well as on-the-job training.

Competence in the delivery of high quality and cost effective training and development is improved through using a systematic training cycle as a guide to good practice.By the end of the Workshop participants will be able to:

• Describe the Training Cycle
• Analyze
• Design
• Develop
• Conduct
• Evaluate

Once the training and development needs have been determined, work can begin on preparing training strategies to meet those needs.The initial step in this process is the preparation and setting of training and development objectives. For obvious reasons, this step is essential to the direction of training. It is going to be difficult to make training and development meaningful, both to trainers and trainees, if its goals are not clearly understood and accepted.In this Workshop Trainers learn to write effective Learning Objectives.

If the various elements are collected, prepared and organized properly we will have a professional looking presentation. If the presentation looks good, we have the best chance of producing the desired outcomes and impact. This Workshop on presentation skills includes all of the ingredients needed to present an effective training program.

Do your presentations have pizzazz? Do you experience difficulty using equipment and laying out your presentation room? Do you have trouble retaining the interest of your audience?
