1. How to Prepare a Basic Training Module
2. SNAPSHOTOBJECTIVE:To prepare a Basic Training
ModuleAGENDA:Questions to consider while designing the
Training ModuleUsing the “ADD” Concept Effective Tips to
ensure that created module is effective
3. Designing a Training ModuleWhat existing knowledge do
they have?What are the learners job related needs?NEEDS
ASSESSMENT:What is the gap between what they know and
what they need to know?
4. Designing a Training ModuleAre the selected trainers ready
to do the trainingTraining ImplementationWhat content needs
to be createdAre all training resources prepared and details
regarding the training addressed?Training DevelopmentWhat
appropriate activities need to be developed?What formative
and evaluation instruments need to be created?
5. Designing a Training ModuleWhat do they expect?What do
they need?The LearnersHow can training meet their learning
needs?How can I as a trainer help them meet learning needs?
6. Designing a Training ModuleWhat kind of training plan
needs to be created?What learning outcomes will meet the
learners’ needs?Training DesignWhat resources are
available?What are some potential challenges to this training?
7. Use the “ADD” Concept Assessment: What do your
learners need to know to accomplish job-related
tasks?Design: What will your training module look

2. like?Development: What content, learning methods, and
resources will you need?
8. Assessment (Characteristics of Learners)Need to know:
The learners want training delivered when “THEY” need it,
when they are ready and wanting to progress to a new task or
a new stageSelf Concept: The learners have a desire to be
recognized by instructor as independent and self directedLife
Experience: The learners expect the instructor to recognize
their prior accomplishments and knowledgeTask centered and
Practical: The learners feel that the training should help them
meet job related needsInternally Motivated: The Learners want
to be largely (but not exclusively) driven by internal rewards
and not, for e.g., grades or marks.
9. DesignTrainer Notes: Detailed explanation with questions
from students and trainerClass Discussion: Conversation with
questions posed to elicit thoughtful responses from
learnersGames: Competitive activities that allows learners to
test their knowledge and skill in the subject.Small Group
Exercises: 4-6 people answering questions or solving
problems togetherRole Plays: Smaller groups designed for
more intense discussion and problem solving
10. Design (Cont’d….)Instructional Plan: An instructional plan
is a map that outlines the design of your training module and
includes the followingTraining Program TitleOverall
Description of the TrainingLearning OutcomesLength of
TrainingTarget LearnersOverall Format for TrainingParticipant
RequirementsInstructional Material and Aids neededLogistical
IssuesContent Outline, including:Major Topics to be
addressedBrief description for each topicIdentification of
learning methods used

3. 11. Development Consider the following while developing
content for the module:Have you taken into consideration
primary content, i.e. one-to-one conversations/personal
experiences/feedback?Have you provided enough information
and learning experiences for trainees to accomplish the stated
learning outcomes?Is there a balance of interactive,
independent, and instructor led training experiences?Is there
enough detail to allow a trainer to use the content outline to
teach the training program?
12. Development (Cont’d….)A training module is built on a
series of carefully designed learning experiences. When
developing learning experiences, consider the
following:Develop learning experiences based on a specific
learning outcomeThe learning experience should be
appropriate to the learning domain as well as for
accomplishing the learning outcomeUse a variety of learning
experiencesAllow for questions and student-to-student
interaction in each learning experienceConsider the
constraints in facilitating each learning experience
13. Effective TipsPreparing the information: The first task is to
determine what you have to teach and how you’re going to
teach itFigure out the skills you need to teach. Write an outline
of the specific skills you intend to teach and prioritize those
skills in the order they should be taught.Divide these skills into
specific groups.From your outline, organize the skills you need
to teach into sets of steps. These groups should provide
enough material for two-hour training increments, including an
assessment at the end.Check for continuity and
completeness.Make sure that the steps you have chosen for
each group include everything needed to learn a particular
skill. STEP 1

4. 14. Effective TipsCreating the class: Now that you know what
you need to deliver, you have to decide how to convey the
informationDesign your presentation.Ideally, use PowerPoint
to design your presentation, take the time to write it down or
type it up, making sure to double-space your lines for easy
readingSTEP 2
15. Effective TipsRead through the presentation as though you
had never learned these skills before.Make notes for
additions, changes, screen shots, etc.Run through the
information again.Ask another trainer to look over your design
and give you feedback. If anything is unclear or left out, this is
the time to fix it.Write the training guideline.Training Notes
should be written with instructions for the trainer in bold letters.
For the Title, use font size 32/36 and you can use fonts like
Mercedes (Headings)/Bookman Old Style/Book Antiqua/Times
New Roman.Make sure that the font you use is large,
minimum 16, and in an easy-to-read font, such as
Calibri/Times New Roman, so that you can glance at it quickly
and find it easy to follow. “A picture is worth a 1000 words”.
Use appropriate pictures which depict what you want to say
16. Effective TipsSTEP 3Keep it Simple: Remember to keep it
in order, keep it simple and easy to follow.Make sure you have
practiced the presentation several times (enough to become at
ease with the program), and you will be assured of an effective
training presentation.
17. Preparing a PowerPoint Presentation
18. INTRODUCTIONA Power Point is designed to help you
achieve a consistent look in your slide presentations.You want
your audience to focus on the message and not be distracted
by poor and inconsistent design from one slide to the next.You

5. can achieve this consistency by using Templates, or pre-
designed slide presentations, that coordinate background
colors and designs, font styles and placement, and other
graphic design elements. Through a Power Point presentation,
you as a trainer have the power to control the subject and also
ensure that the audience sees what you want them to see and
agree with your perspectives and your points of view
19. ABOUT TEMPLATESA good common use for templates is
putting a border with the company's name and logo on every
slide in the Master layout.
20. ABOUT SLIDE MASTEREvery slide presentation is based
on a slide master of some sort. The slide master determines,
for example, which font appears on each slide and how it is to
be formatted.
21. MODIFICATION OF SLIDE MASTERTo modify your Slide
Master, follow these steps:Choose View, Slide Master.
PowerPoint displays the Slide Master layout and editing
screenThe Slide Master editing screen helps you change the
overall look of your presentation and maintain consistency
from slide to slide.To Close the Slide master click on Close
Master Viewto return to the main slide and view the changes.

22. ADDING OTHER GRAPHICSHere, all I’ve done is to put
the date, Name of the Company and footer in the appropriate
areas and added smiley's. (Hardly 3 minutes work).
Similarly you can add clip arts, graphics, etc. to beautify your
presentation.
23. WATERMARKINGTo Watermark an image. Click on the
Image, Go to Format, Click on Recolor and click on Washout.

6. Also there are other options like shadow, grayscale, etc. which
can be used, depending on the nature of your presentation

get these backgrounds you need to right click on a vacant
area in your slide and click on format background, where you
will find various background effects
25. ABOUT CUSTOM ANIMATIONCustom Animation helps
you to project what you want to project in a stylish manner.You
can organize your statements in the order you want them to
arrive.You can emphasize on various words, pictures,
statements, etc.To choose the option of Custom Animation,
Click on Animations and Click on Custom Animation. You can
then choose what kind of Animation you want
26. ABOUT CUSTOM ANIMATIONBelow are some of the

30. CONCLUSIONA Power Point presentation needs to look
neat and presentableUse pictures and animation wherever
required. (Not too much Animation)Do not overlap text on
Images, because it may look shabby. Also, the text may not be
readable, if overlapped over the Image.A perfect

7. mixture/proper blend of thought and expression in the
presentation is a great combination. Thus, a Power Point
presentation will help you express your thoughts in a better
wayAll the key elements required to build a basic training
module have been covered, matter being subjective.
