Why the Classroom is Still King & Other Training Myths
Arupa Tesolin takes a look at how training is evolving and how formal training, while still very relevent is being supplemented by informal peer training.
2.2.4 National training systems: Contributory factors
While constant reference is made in the literature to 'vocational training systems', it is rarely made clear what exactly is meant by training system.

4.1 The potential for training interventions: The demand for training
As is well known, the supply of training does not usually create its own demand. Clearly, therefore, training provision for the poor has been powerfully shaped by the nature of the demand for training among targeted groups, in particular in the informal sector. Lack of effective demand is a key reason for both the limited training provision for the poor (and hence outputs and impacts) in most countries as well as the overall failure of national training systems to reorient their activities in support of the poor.

7.4 Characteristics of a pro-poor training system
Many of the key characteristics of market-driven VET reform strategies can and should be incorporated into the design of pro-poor training strategies. In particular, the state should perform a largely regulatory and facilitatory role while actual training provision should, wherever possible, be contracted out to independent training providers. The state must, therefore, take primary responsibility for the funding of such a strategy and, in consultation with the major stakeholders, take the lead in the overall design of the strategy with clear priorities and related resource allocations.
Private Training versus Public Classroom Training
The time has come for employee development and instruction, but you cannot decide between private training or using publicly scheduled off site classroom training. There are pros and cons to both types of training and making a decision will be based on a number of criteria. Cost of training being one of the most important – or is it? Remarkably in some cases, for example Microsoft Office Skills Training, private training can be more cost effective than attending a classroom session. Here are some factors to consider when choosing between private or external classroom based instruction.
IS SALES TRAINING PASSING ITS SELL-BY DATE?
As a company who specialises in sales training and development, I've found myself growing increasingly more sceptical towards the real impact of traditional sales training methods. According to Professor George Miller, Harvard University, our conscious minds can only process around 7 chunks of information at any given moment. If this is then related to applying new techniques learned during a training course, then how can salespeople feasibly put into practice loads of new techniques instantly?

Gathering Good Requirements
Successful training programs come from knowing exactly what the training must accomplish for the business, the department, and the individual. They don't just happen. Whether you are developing or contracting training, use these steps to improve your requirements-gathering process, spend less time doing it, and drive more effective training:

Do Effective Online Training Needs Learning Performance Assessment
To ensure that online training is providing the right training, for the right people, with the right return, creating meaningful performance assessments for online training is crucial. With meaningful and periodical performance assessments, training instructors would easily and efficiently measure all performances and provide valuable feedback to learners in training progress and then increase online training effect.
What are Training Brokers
Training brokers exist to help companies plan the training for their employees and to help organize further education for staffers. Intensive training needs often require some form of middle ground in order to sufficiently classify the proceedings, which is where a training brokerage comes in handy. It can be difficult to conclude whether training needs to be outsourced or take place in house, but a training broker can help gauge business needs and lead to decisions on diverse related matters. In short, a training broker completes the associated tasks with organizing training for employees. Any directorial tasks, such as scheduling or budgetary scrutiny, can also be left to the broker. He or she will work within a complex of allied groups to supply the business owner with the essential information about training programs,etc.
Is Your Sales Training Missing These Ingredients?
The last time you went on sales training, were you engaged in the decision? How long was the sale training and/or was the sales training ongoing or was it just the flavor of the month? When or what day(s) of the week was the sales training delivered - during pay time or no pay time? Did the sales training take your personal sales needs and learning methods into consideration? Were you able to apply the sales training methods in the real world? Were you encouraged to return for further sales training or to meet with your sales coach and discuss your experience? Was the sales training based on sales management objectives?

What you should know before you invest in a sales training program.
Sales training is the foundation for a successful sales career. However, not all sales training is grounded and there are many factors to consider when selecting a sales training program. An individual wouldn’t have any direction without sales training. He/she would be wasting his/her own potential and the resources of the company. Therefore, it is important that the sales training relate not only to the individual’s needs but also to management objectives and their line of business.

Drinking and Driving = Consequences
Drunk driving is widely understood to be risky and dangerous, not only to the driver and passengers but also to other people on the road, including drivers and pedestrians. Four out of every ten fatal car accidents in the United States are alcohol-related. Each year, 25,000 people die and 708,000 are injured in alcohol-related collisions. Alcohol-related crashes result in the death of 500 people per week, or more than 70 every day. Statistically, half of all Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related car accident in their lifetime. Despite these alarming statistics, it happens all around us every day. Far too often, who have been drinking fail to heed the potential consequences, and get behind the wheel of a car.
