one on one training

OVERVIEW

For persons whose teaching responsibilities are primarily in a one-on-one environment

Managers, mentors, and experienced performers are often in the position of providing one on one instruction to a subordinate or less experienced colleague. This may also occur as a component of a formal or informal OJT program. This workshop provides the tools and techniques to cause learning and retention in a one on one instructional environment.

  • Describe the challenges of teaching and learning in a one on one instructional setting
  • Perform a job and task analysis to determine what to teach and what not to
  • Use appropriate instructional strategies

  • Identify the best instructional sequence
  • Give performance feedback effectively
  • Perform effective demonstrations of equipment or processes
  • Use job aids and knowledge resources to supplement training
