From a pure “glamour” perspective, training administration doesn’t receive a lot of props … but administrative support of training delivery is crucial to training success!! I have a strong team of training administrators that work behind the scenes helping my training initiatives by making them easy to access, providing registration procedures, printing both instructor and participant guides, securing training facilities (locations, rooms), and even preparing equipment that’s needed.
In addition to the support offered prior to a training event, training administrators also help manage the budgets and when training events are over, they begin focusing on their support for the evaluation of training.
Training administrators often follow a checklist to manage the level of details necessary for success.

When new training is needed, a training proposal describes the work to be done — it is a call to action. The sole purpose of a traiing proposal is to persuade decision makers of the need for training, the need for action, and thus the expected response to a training proposal is the “go ahead.”
Training proposals explain:
Most training proposals should include an Executive Summary plus a combination of components deemed necessary to persuade the decision makers; components such as the challenge for which the training will be developed, the learning objectives (important!), a development and delivery schedule, and a cost-benefit analysis.
A training proposal document must be concise, clear, and compelling.

One of my favorite topics in the training industry is technology and how we incorporate newer technology into our existing training methods or use it to create alternate training methods. The term often used to describe alternate training methods is mediated instruction which would include self-paced learning, like reading and responding to this blog! Mediated instruction also includes complementary training methods — those that complement live instruction which we discussed in the previous blog and podcast. A key benefit to mediated instruction is that it let’s learners take charge of their learning. Referring back to our podcast covering adult learning, the connection can easily be made showing that mediated learning fits well with how adults learn.
