Taking into account the experience

and educational levels of the
personnel and time and resources
available for training
Creation and implementation

Options range from short courses to long-

term placements in the academic
institution
All options must be weighed against the
immediate optional needs of the
program or institution
Learning outcomes must be achieved,
along with the training environment,
audience and characteristics
Development of the training Program

also includes design of the training

evaluation which is carried out during
the course as well as at its
conclusion.
 Remember :

Training should be put into a context of

continuous performance improvement
Training should be based on competencies
Training requires active involvement
Training alone is often not sufficient to
change behavior or improve performance
Improved Performance, changed attitude,
and new skills acquired during training
may need to be complemented by and
maintained through continuing education,
supportive supervision, and adequate
motivational incentives.
in many cases, structural changes, such as
workspace improvements and increased
access to supplies and equipment may be
needed to support improved performance.
