Do you have the background to create effective training experiences?

If you excel in your job, you may be charged with improving the performance of others to a higher level. The reality is that there are training programs taught by individuals who are not educators by profession, nor do they have instructional designers as resources. Individuals tasked to become trainers may be unfamiliar with steps involved in designing a training course for adult learners.
