The Training Cycle Model
Overview
The Training Cycle is the means by which you can ensure that your training results in what you’re wanting – whether it’s simply to show how you value and respect your staff / volunteers – or to create lasting and effective change.
The Training Cycle has five stages:
Simply experiencing a training event can result in learning. However, chances are far greater when learners are consulted and supported, particularly through the stages of identifying training needs, preparing for the training, and applying learning post-training.
The process is cyclic, so you can approach it at any stage, but the ideal starting point is Identifying Training Needs.
