OJT Trainer Course

Overview

Your certified Trainer-Trainers will teach this three-day hands-on workshop.

  • It will enable you to produce OJT trainers whenever they are needed. It can be used to teach all the jobs in your organization—industrial, technical, information services, customer services, engineering, medical, etc., and even as a mentor program for managers.

  • It can be used to improve employee performance at all stages. New hires will learn their jobs correctly; cross trainees will learn to perform error-free; e-learning will be connected to the actual work performed; supervisors will be assured of worker competence.

  • It will be customized (during our delivery) to support your quality and ISO 9000 programs with complete metrics and documentation.

  • And, it will be flexible. The basic 24 hours of class time can be taught in three days or over three weeks. Or, selected units can be taught to those who only need those skills.

The following links will show details of how the course is delivered.

The course consists of two separate sets of skills— instructional skills and development skills. Instructional skills are learned in the mornings, and development skills are learned in the afternoons.
