How do you prepare Training Calendar?

Answer 1

If you are a person responsible for organising/creating and delivering training then first role is toascertain the training programme requirements

Are there courses that are standalone that must be undertaken in sequence?

If yes what is the sequence

What timeframe does each section require take to deliver - will there be a requirement for workshops (classroom) and on the job situations

how many will each training subject require to take and what is the maximum and minimum require to attend

WHO will deliver the training /are they available for the duration of the courses

once you have the base information you can plan using a good calender when the course can be logically delivered. Also consider a "mop up" period during and at the end of the programmes for those who may unexpectedly fail to attend.

Keep in mind the time of year the training will be required - IE. In retail running training programmes for staff in December will get you some aggravation from people as its peak trading time - all hands on deck

Is there a specific holiday period involved - High season points are difficult to staff without taking more staff away when holidays are at a peak.

You can use a large A1 size planner and temporary stickers to block off training days/weeks - finally communicate - speak to those in authority and get feedback on the potential plan, once on board you have their support in getting people to attend

Answer 2

Training calendars are the best suited to repeatable and regular demand, such as refresher skills training for infrequently performed technical tasks and for new recruits joining the organization. In these cases, review what training is required on a regular basis and look at what new recruits need to be proficient at soon after they join any organization. Generally, consult with management team by checking off which of the following areas require inclusion in training calendar:

· management, leadership and supervision skills

· soft skills, such as communication and conflict resolution

· environment, health and safety

· human resource processes, such as performance management

· business skills, such as strategy, planning and process improvement

· technical line and staff skills such as telephone etiquette and inventory management
