What Is This Session About?
This session focuses on transforming the way you design learning by emphasising what matters most: improving performance on the job. In this practical, hands-on workshop, you will explore evidence-based principles that strengthen the connection between training and real workplace outcomes.
Through guided activities and collaborative design, you will learn to clarify the business purpose of a learning initiative, create engaging learning experiences, and support learners before, during, and after a training event. The session emphasises designing training that fits naturally into the flow of work, encourages meaningful practice, and reinforces new behaviours over time. Whether you are refining your instructional design skills or rethinking your overall learning strategy, you will leave with practical tools to create learning solutions that are intentional, sustainable, and capable of driving measurable impact.
What Does The Session Cover?
By the end of the course, participants will be able to design learner-centric programmes that achieve specific business outcomes, foster learner engagement, and sustain knowledge application over time.
