Overview

Are you doing one-on-one or one-on-a-few training in a real working environment? This program will help you develop effective skills to increase your performance with your learners. Based on the foundation developed for FKA's industry-standard 3-day Instructional Techniques workshop, this program is adapted to place those skills in the context of trainers who are delivering training in an on-the-job environment. You’ll practice new skills and explore the systematic learning process to empower your learners.

Who should attend:
