READY-TO-GO TRAINING
Just buy a leader's guide and participants' workbooks, and you're ready to go. Self-explanatory leader's notes allow you to prepare quickly to teach a module. Modules generally take 2-4 hours to present, depending on teaching objectives, the addition of custom material, group size, and audience skill level. Modules can also be offered to employees to complete on a self-study basis. Pre-workshop and post-workshop assignments are available.
THREE-PHASED PROCESS
In order to make the greatest impact on employees, GPC uses a systematic approach to training. GPC endorses a three-phased approach to training:
1. The PRE-WORKSHOP ASSIGNMENT sets the stage, prepares the participants, and asks them to complete a self-assessment, answer several questions, and state their objectives for the training.
2. The WORKSHOP focuses on innovative methods of teaching, including interactive role plays, presentations, exercises, and simulations of actual workplace situations. The workshop exercises are designed to be experiential, energizing, and challenging to participant.
3. The POST-WORKSHOP APPLICATION includes specific action items for the participants to complete after the training. This procedure reinforces the concepts learned and allows the participant to think through practical, on-the-job-application of the concepts of the course.
