On-Demand Training Design Webinar

Let’s Cook!

Hands-on Training Design Using Endurance Learning’s Free Training Activity Cookbook

High energy, activity-centered training is great. But high impact training is better. If your learners leave your training session happy, but aren’t able to do anything new, different, or better on the job, the training has failed.

Join Brian Washburn for a 75-minute recorded webinar that focuses on the essential building blocks of effective training design, helping participants move from vague ideas to instructionally sound, actionable plans. Participants will review how to develop clear, instructionally sound learning objectives, apply Endurance Learning’s 4-step training design model to create an engaging and well-aligned lesson plan, and use a Training Plan Accountability Checklist to offer focused, constructive peer feedback on drafted plans. And if you need a little help coming up with activities, you’ll have access to Endurance Learning’s Free Training Activity Cookbook.

Designed for trainers, facilitators, instructional designers, and subject-matter experts, this session emphasizes practical tools, shared language, and real-world application so participants leave with approaches they can use immediately in their own training work. If you’re new to training design, this workshop will offer you a structure you can use throughout your career. If you’re more experienced, this session will offer you an opportunity to see how others’ minds work as they develop training plans.
