Instructor-led Training Services

Overview

Also known as leader-led, classroom, or stand-up training, the instructor-led session is the training format the majority of people are most familiar with.

Despite the rising popularity of e-learning, instructor-led classes continue to be the most widely deployed form of training, accounting for 74% of employee training in 2002, according to Training magazine. (Computer-based training accounted for only 12% of this $54 billion dollar market.)

BrainWave has extensive background in the design and delivery of instructor-led training (ILT) solutions. Our task-oriented approach ensures that participants:

  • focus on the knowledge and skills needed to perform required tasks
  • receive ample opportunity to reinforce learning acquisition through active learning
  • receive ongoing evaluation and feedback about their performance

The presentation and learning strategies we employ are thoroughly grounded in adult learning principles. All courses are delivered with a comprehensive student guide and other resources that learners can refer to in class and on the job. A detailed instructor guide ensures that instructors have the resources and information they need to deliver a quality training session.

The training resource kit for a typical course includes:

  • an instructor guide, including both content and instructional strategy guidelines
  • a participant workbook
  • visual aids
  • job aids (included whenever they will enhance learning and job performance)
  • a post-course strategy

Benefits of Instructor-led Training

Instructor-led training (ILT) is a highly effective way to address complex training content where there are no clear-cut procedures or answers. Classroom sessions provide a forum for:

  • behaviour modelling and demonstrations
  • group discussions and problem-solving
  • group learning activities
  • giving and receiving peer feedback
  • practice sessions with hazardous or complex equipment
  • immediate feedback on learner questions and performance

Other benefits include:

  • lower design and development costs (although delivery costs can be significantly higher)
  • greater ease of updating
  • flexible delivery options that can accommodate the needs of the group
  • group dynamics that encourage participation, promote active learning,
    and elicit peer feedback
  • a variety of methods and media that address varying cognitive styles
