Building new training concepts
From needs analysis to a finished curriculum.
Service 02
Learning Architecture & Instructional Design
Many companies have training landscapes that have grown but lack structure: slides from different years, varying quality per trainer, no visible connection between learning objectives and assessments.
Offering
What I offer.
Training quality management
Standards, templates and review processes that ensure consistency across several trainers and sites.
Development to 4MAT
Training to Dr Bernice McCarthy that addresses different learner types equally.
Development to ADDIE
Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation as a project framework for larger training initiatives – likewise to SAM and Backward Design.
Modernising existing training
Re-design, digitalisation and adaptation to new standards.
Support with content creation
Creating learning activities, e-learning with Articulate, or training materials.
Project framework
ADDIE as a framework for larger initiatives.
For extensive training projects I work along a fixed phase model – supplemented by SAM and Backward Design where they get to the goal faster.
Phase 1
Analysis
Clarify needs, target group and starting point.
Phase 2
Design
Define learning objectives, structure and assessment forms.
Phase 3
Development
Create materials, activities and media.
Phase 4
Implementation
Run the training and brief the trainers.
Phase 5
Evaluation
Measure impact and uncover weak points.
Evaluation is not an endpoint but the entry into the next analysis – that is how a training concept stays viable for years.
Methodological basis
The alignment triangle is my core tool in instructional design.
Every learning objective gets a precise action verb, every learning activity is aligned to it, every assessment tests exactly what was practised before – documented and traceable.
More on the alignment triangleTarget groups
Who it’s for.
- Companies building new training programmes
- Companies that want to modernise existing training
- Training departments with several sites or trainers that need a consistent quality level
- Subject-matter experts (SMEs), instructional designers and content creators
The result: a training concept that not only looks good but demonstrably builds competence – repeatable and testable.
