LaPD Solutions is passionate about the skills required to transfer Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU) to others.

We believe that trainers should not lecture their learners but instead use our tools to engage, interest, and even challenge them, making them inquisitive about the learning and able to reason out the new SKU to keep their brains engaged.

Our three to five-day course compares the lecture-based delivery that most trainers use to deliver their training to our Engagement Methodology and explains why it is significantly better for learning and retention.

We use the same session structure in our methodology to deliver these courses. Our CET structure is not rigid but rather adaptable to the dynamic situations trainers often find themselves in, especially when time is tight. This flexibility empowers trainers to deliver effective training regardless of the circumstances.

We discuss why question techniques are an incredibly powerful tool in the art of engaging our learners, and we look at when we should use specific techniques and even when we should not. We give time to practice this key skill, but please note that the three-day course has limited time for this crucial practice. The three-day version of this course is designed exclusively for experienced trainers, recognising their expertise and the experience they have acquired. Including inexperienced trainers is unfair to them or others on their course.

A comprehensive course manual (100+ pages) is supplied and used throughout the course to ensure attendees can find their way around and ask questions as they wish.

Suitability - Who should attend?

Who? - ANYONE involved in transferring Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU)

People who are brand new into training - 5 days.
People who will be taking up a training role soon - 5 days.
Experienced trainers and facilitators (ideally two years) who want to adapt their current delivery style to our interactive and engagement methodology - 3 days.
People whose primary role is not training but will deliver training occasionally - 2 days.

Why? If you want your trainers to deliver engaging training that helps their attendees learn and retain new skills, knowledge, and understanding (SKU), then ensure they have been given the proper training to do just that.

Show your clients that you have invested in your trainers by ensuring they are all certified to deliver training and that their delivery is monitored and assessed to maintain those standards.

If you expect high standards of training in your organisation and given to your clients, then ensure you have the tools to do that and the ability for your senior trainers to assess their peers to ensure the consistency of quality, the monitoring of standards and the continuous development of all your trainers and facilitators.

Training Course Content

What is a Sat-Nav trainer, and why must we avoid this at all costs?
We discuss our recommended session structure and why it is designed that way.
We examine different question techniques and discuss what each is good for or why it should be avoided.
We look at our Task Based Objectives (TBOs) and discuss various reasons why they should be adopted.
We touch on learning styles to see what you think of each and how we can cater to them.
We take a good look at our SAS feedback model and why we think it must be facilitated and not given.
We help you plan and prepare for your final session for the last day using our Script Writing Guide.
We discuss why Emotional Intelligence is a must-have in your trainer's toolbox.
Attendees deliver their final mini sessions. We record them (HD). We offer one-on-one feedback. We chat as a group.

Course delivery details

When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.

Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.

We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

The three-day course is split into two parts. The first two days are together, then the third day a week (or more) later. This gives attendees time to plan, prepare and practice before delivering their final recorded sessions.

The five-day course is not required to be split as practice time is built into the 4th day. However, if it suits organisations better, we can accommodate a split between the fourth and fifth days.
