My learnings from PVMTC Level 3

In the 2 weeks working with the good trainers from PVMTC, its been eye-opening experience for myself as Master Trainer. Here are some of my learnings and experience.

1. Saturday is not the best day to have a training session.

2.  It's essential to set higher standards than them so that they don't just "pass" the session assessment by just speaking or presenting.
- use equipment / props
- must use facilitating approach (new)
- new context of adult learning from refinery

3. The holistic report guidelines and sample of openings of the sentences helped them more.


4. New training ideas that i used:

a. Pre-cut paper strips with words. Each person read the word he has, the opposite person then use the word and use the word and build a sentence to link the word with their topic.
This is to practice linking skills and listening.


b.   Get the participants to sketch draw instead of just write on flipchart.

c.  Keep asking questions with scenarios and stories in small groups.
To practice questioning skills as facilitator.


Some new skills for the candidates.

a. Handling questions from the class. Open up the question to the rest of the group and avoid answer it yourself all the time.

b. Asking more questions instead of telling.

c. Get the conclusions and summary from class members instead of trainer.

d. Handover more of the session's activities to the class learners instead of doing it yourself as Trainer. 30-70.

e. Used very minimal slides (less than 4) to deliver 25 min session.  Many used only 1-2 slides and successul in delivery.

f. Developed their self-confidence through accepting the new challenge.
