How it’s Done? Inhouse Training : Best Practices

How it’s Done?

In-house Training : Best Practices


Do Organizations Need training

  • The answer is “YES”
  • However, we must know the purpose and functions of training before we can use it.

Here is the in-house training cycle:


Understanding Requirements

Meeting the HR Team and knowing the requirements is the favorite part of what I do because the in-house training cycle kicks-off from here. Here the training objectives are discussed and input is recorded from the perspective of management.

This meeting enables us to understand the root cause of training need and corporate culture associated with it.

The GAP Concept / Meeting the RIGHT person

Once the initial requirements and information is collected then the stage it set to meet the Functional Manager in order to get technical details and objective for the training. Another purpose of this meeting is to narrow down the key areas to be center of attention and the manager wants to develop his/ her team in the training course.

We need to develop programs to fill the gaps.

Pre Training Assessment

Pre-assessments is the key driver for course success and in getting results from the training program. Pre-assessment is normally based on the initial meetings with the HR team after which we create the assessments to be filled by the participants before the training starts.

Post Training Assessment

Participants will be given a post training assessment to measure their level of knowledge after the training. In few courses we also gives refresher course after a considerable time to refresh the key topics/ gaps.

Evaluating the Training

Three Levels of Evaluation
  • Immediate Feedback: Survey or interview directly after training
  • Post-Training Test: Trainee applying learned tasks in workplace?
  • Post-Training Appraisals: Conducted by immediate supervisors of trainees

Training Providers in Dubai, How to deal with Training Provider when you have limited Budget?

How to deal with Training Provider when you have limited Budget?
Normally the last quarter of every year is busy for training and development activities, the reasons are numerous but the main are: -
  • Pending learning needs of staff
  • Training calendar not matching
  • Un-utilized training budget
  • New hiring at year end and many more
Now the question is how to get the maximum out of a training provider?
The training departments of organizations usually prefer the following way of trainingdelivery: -
  • In-house training (where a considerable number of staff is available training is customized for staff members of one company)
  • Public Course (delegates from different organizations attend the course in public venue)
  • e-Learning platforms
Common Situational Problems of HR Professionals
  • What if there are courses for which either the Training Manager/HR doesn’t have enough delegates or budget to run an in-house
  • There are no public courses available in the market of such training course
  • Or the course is available but the dates are not compatible with your schedule
Win-Win Situation
NOW pick up your phone call or email your training provider and tell them that You have 2-3 participants available for specific course(s) and ask them; can you arrange this session for us and that you can also have other persons sit in the course.
Training company business is like any other business in the world, there are products,profit and loss, operations, administration, product development and CLIENTS. So there is no harm in keeping Clients’ Happy through better services.
