Start planning top down.
Most critically important things to decide at the very start are the goals and the content. What are the goals of the training session(s)/programme? How do I define goals? Ask yourself a question: “What do I want the participants to do after they complete the training?” Think about it in specific actions (rather than generic terms), i.e. “participants should be able to review/replace/install/contact me, etc”. And your answer will be the definitions of goals that training is meant to achieve. Pitfall to avoid: Focussing on your own actions (“I will do the presentation, then I will do the demo, then…) and losing the site of goals. Solution: Plan your own actions but keep audience in mind at all times, i.e. “how my actions will help to achieve the goal” Taking stock of the content: do I have everything I need for the training?

Getting the sessions ready – using a template (see below) may help to structure and organise the process of preparing a training session/programme. Title of a session/programme Trainer(s)/presenters Content owners (if different from trainers) Collaborators (i.e. GLAD or there may be a team behind) Start date Finish date Goals – list no more than three - overall. If there are modules of learning - list no more than 3 goals per module. (3 is a "magic" number, if there are more than 3 - it is really hard to achieve them all) Programme outline (brief description): For example: "Training will be delivered as a combination of 3 live online sessions delivered over XXX period of time and access to resources for self-study for the duration of training. Live online sessions will be delivered as 2 webinars and “Meet the experts” Q&A session".
Consider these elements at the very start: Programme launch Initial communication = promotion: date and who will be responsible Invitations to register: date and who will be responsible Joining instructions: date registration is open/closed and who will be responsible Post- training activities Further support/contact details Signposting to resources available Evaluations (if relevant) Certification (if included) Programme (session) development - tasks
