I am admittedly a control freak. It is part of the reason I like developing ELearning so much. It gives me at least the illusion that I can better control the consistency in the way certain trainings are delivered (though we all know this is often untrue). Over the past few weeks I have been part of a training team for a completely new venture, for which I only designed a very small part of the training, and was responsible to deliver only a small portion of it. There were expert trainers brought in to train aspects I and my team had less experience with. We did a lot of things to help prepare for these outside trainers to make the training as successful as possible, but I thought I’d open up the discussion of what things you as a trainer want to do, want to know, and want to have prepared when you have external trainers coming in?
I will add some of the things we did, learned, and prepared before next Friday.
