Plan Your Training with NAOMIE

Planning your Training Session with Naomie

 The following mnemonic helps trainers to plan a training session.  It is actually a very useful tool in any situation that needs planning and implementing.

NAOMIE

 N – Needs – what are the needs of the group or the organisation?  How were these needs identified?

A – Aim what general aim do you have for the training session.  What is overall purpose you want to achieve?

O – Objectives – what specific objectives will you set for the session?  What do you want your learners to know or do after the session that they don’t know or do now?  How will you ensure that the objectives are measurable?

M – Methods – what learning/training methods will you use to meet your objectives?  How will you ensure that the methods are relevant for the different learning styles within the group?

I – Implementation – what do you need to think about as you run the session.  What should you expect and how will you deal with the unexpected?

E – Evaluation – how will you know that your objectives have been met?  What methods will you use to assess the learning?

Designing Short Training Sessions that Work!

 When time and money are tight, make sure your training sessions have  “OOMPH!!” –

Outcomes, Order, Method, Practicality and Heart!!

 There are so many teams that would benefit from the capability to run short and useful training sessions – the sort of session that could take up ten minutes of a weekly meeting, for example.

Managers could and team leaders could include subjects such as:

• New/amended procedures, products or policies
• Repetitive regulatory training such as fire procedures, health & safety, equalities etc.
• Follow-up sessions to other training (e.g. the whole team has had a one-day ‘corporate’ session and the team leader designs a couple of short follow-ups to embed the learning and make it relevant to that team.)
• “Just in time” training – one-off subjects ‘as and when’  (e.g. the team leader spots a need to train, or retrain, everyone in a particular skill)
• Planned training – larger subjects can be broken into short sessions and trained over a period of time (e.g. customer care could be broken into component parts and covered weekly during team meetings)

 Benefits to the delegate and the organisation:

• Better trained staff
• Increased motivation as staff feel ‘developed’
• Gives your team a competitive edge
• All staff can be trained
• You don’t lose staff for a whole day while they go on a course
• Adds energy and extra value to a long meeting
• Staff get used to the sessions and develop a learning culture in the team
• Training become self-perpetuating as other team members learn how to design and run sessions
• Makes good use of team meetings, daily huddles etc.
• Staff can be trained without waiting for Training Department to arrange the course
• More training at less cost.

 Over the coming weeks and months, this I’ll be providing loads of free resources to help anyone to create bite-size training sessions which really work.
