Training Professionals Perspective:

"Learning Short-takes™ are the 'post-it note' of training - I wish I'd thought of it! I work for a company as a trainer. Some of my friends who are trainers have training administrators, instructional designers, subject-matter experts all contributing to the training - I don't. You'd often find me at the photocopier the night before a course rushing to get the last of the handouts done. If I wasn't copying materials at the last minute, I was still writing them! That was in my past! Now, I've found Learning Short-takes™.

Learning Short-takes™ allow me to focus on what I'm skilled at doing: delivering training. I simply order Learning Short-takes™ from the TPC Store according to the number of participants that I have registered on the course. I use Learning Short-takes™ as pre-course work, bridging tasks, in-class training materials, even as post-course assignments. Participants love them!

Each Learning Short-take™ that I've purchased starts with a Initial Skills Assessment. This is a great way for me to measure the before and after knowledge of my group. After the class, participants implement their learning using the Skill Development Action Plan included in each Learning Short-take™. I simply send an email to participants' managers communicating that an Action Plan has been completed and together we follow-up with the participant to make sure the new learning is applied. For new mangers in my organization, I send them the Managers Coaching Kit - I can't believe that is free to TPC Members.

For me, I've reduced my preparation time, do very little instructional design now, and enjoy my training much more. Learning Short-takes™ make my life as a corporate trainer much easier."
