Structure of Training Plan

Training is one of the most important steps in project implementation. The training should be planned in detailed to avoid problems. A document of training plan will be a great help to understand things to prepare. A training is not only teaching a topic to people. All logistics, time line, participants, hand outs should be prepared before hand.

Below is an example of training plan documentation that can be used as a template.

1. Introduction
This is to discuss what the training is all about. Who will be the attendance. How long will be the training be.
2. Objective.
Why the training is needed? The document should explained in details the goals of the training.
3. Scope.
The topics that will be covered in the training. The document depicts all the coverage and topics of training to avoid miscommunication about what the attendance will be having. This is important to elaborate in details to agree on common understand between the trainer and the attendance. If you have different modules and profiles that will attend the training, a matrix table defining who will attend what will be good.
4. Training Materials
List of training materials that need to be prepared like hand outs, flash cards, exercise forms, etc.
5. Logistics
List of logistics needed like room, PCs, projectors, coffee, etc.

Hope that the simple structure above can help you defining efficient training.
