Sample training plan: 2-day hands-on design

This two-day design turns trainers and subject experts into people who can take a vague training request and return a sound design. Each participant brings one real request from their organisation and carries it through the ADDIE stages in the room. They interrogate a mock stakeholder, write performance objectives, sequence content using adult learning principles, storyboard a module, build an assessment and use AI tools to draft faster. On day two they pitch the design to a sponsor panel and leave with a portfolio piece.
