Characteristics, strengths & weaknesses - Training, train-the-trainer and training modules
Training is a planned and systematic method used to modify or develop knowledge, skills and attitudes to achieve performance in an activity or activities. Training is often work- or job-oriented with a focus on the processes by which something is done. It generally emphasises uniform and predictable responses which are learnt and reinforced by practice and repetition. Training methods aim to bring participants to a desired level of attainment or competency. Train-the-trainer programs are designed to ensure that those involved in providing courses or instruction in your program are accredited and therefore maintain the course standards.
