Training is different to ‘teaching’. Adults – with all their life experience – tend to learn differently to children, so when designing training for workplaces, it’s important that we take these principles into account. Find out what they are and what it means for us in practice.
Taking a design brief is similar to doing a training needs analysis but it's not exactly the same. Download this guide to make sure you ask everything you need to to do a great job.

In just 45 minutes, I’ll be demystifying artificial intelligence for L&D practitioners, and taking away the smoke and mirrors that surround it.
Evaluating training is always very difficult because it can be hard to isolate the effects of training from other things that impact the effectiveness of training and transfer of learning.
Whether you're an experienced facilitator looking to formalise your skills, or perhaps you're adapting an existing event for a virtual audience, or entrusting others to deliver your programs, you will want to ensure that your training remains effective, engaging, and impactful.
Good training design is a mixture of art and science, and MASTER brings these together perfectly. So if you want to design an engaging and impactful training session, but you haven’t got weeks to put it together, follow this process and you will be able to QUICKLY design a live training session that is high on engagement AND high on impact.
A Session Plan is the most crucial thing to design for any live training event. Yet many facilitators fail to create one, feeling it's unnecessary. But putting in the work up front to design a proper session plan, reaps very many benefits later in the design AND delivery process.
