TRAINING STUDENT GUIDELINES
1. COME PREPARED. Know what the course is expected cover. Make sure you have mastered the prerequisite skills. Talk to others who have attended the course and see how they are using the skills.
2. MEET WITH YOUR MANAGER. Find out what your manager expects you to get from the class. Afterward, discuss the training with your manager and determine what support you need to apply the skills.
3. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. As an adult, you are in charge of your learning. Take advantage of the class time, practice sessions and instructor's knowledge while you are in class. Use resources such as on-line help, quick reference cards, software manuals and training manuals instead of relying solely on the instructor or classmates.
4. PARTICIPATE. Learning is an active process! Active learners are the ones who ask questions, do the exercises, participate in the discussions, take notes and help other class members. Keep involved and you will not only better master the new skills in class, but more importantly, remember them when you are back on the job.
5. LEARN FROM MISTAKES. Mistakes are learning opportunities for you, the instructor and the rest of the class. Don't be embarrassed or frustrated. The goal in the classroom should be to make mistakes so that you'll know how to correct the situation if it happens back on the job.
6. SEEK TO APPLY THE TRAINING TO YOUR JOB NEEDS. Ask yourself and classmates how you can use or adapt each skill or technique to your job demands. You may find that some skills will be more important than others and you'll know which ones to focus on mastering.
7. HONOR THE TIME SCHEDULE. Time is money in a training class and even a few minutes delay affects the rest of the schedule.
8. HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. Whining doesn't make the class go faster or better. Negative comments do you change corporate policies or procedures. They just wear down your entry as well as that of the instructor and other learners. If you have concerns about the class you should discuss these with your manager.
9. GIVE FEEDBACK. If you feel that the class is too slow or fast or the topics aren't pertinent, convey this to the instructor during a break. Don't keep it to yourself or complain to your classmates. Most instructors will try to be flexible and address your concerns.
10. COMPLETE THE COURSE EVALUATION. Course evaluations are your opportunity to give useful and pertinent feedback about the course content, materials, and instructional approach. Take the time to complete the form thoroughly and give meaningful comments. |
