Coaching can be a powerful tool to transfer learning to improving on-the-job performance. However, it is often challenging to scale coaching to an entire organization, unless we use technology. I enjoyed testing out a new chatbot coaching tool called Coach M, which was developed by Lever - Transfer Learning. In this episode, I speak with the CEO of Lever about what it looks like to have a chatbot coach and the impact it can have on learning in the workplace. Emma Weber is CEO/Founder Lever – Transfer of Learning. Emma, a learning transfer authority, made it her mission in life to make a difference to learning transfer worldwide. Frustrated by the amount of learning which is wasted when it fails to make it across the knowing–doing gap Emma created the Turning Learning into Action™ methodology to solve that problem. This methodology is deployed throughout 20 countries and in 12 languages by a talented team and Coach M, a conversational intelligence chatbot. Coach M is challenging the industry's thinking of what's possible in learning transfer. Emma shares her passion and expertise through her writing – her first book 'Turning Learning into Action: a proven methodology for effective transfer of learning' was published by Kogan Page in 2014 and is excited to have her 1st co-written ATD Association for Talent Development) press book ‘Designing Virtual Learning for Application & Impact' published in 2023.

How do you prove that you are competent to stand up on front of your clients and deliver an effective training program? Have you been tested? Where's the badge? Many training companies have their own internal TTT (train-the-trainer) qualifications. But how do they 'stack-up' against industry-standard trainer qualifications? Are they recognised? This is the first of a mini-series looking at Trainer Certifications, which can help you and your people decide which credentials will work for you. Today, we are going to look at TAP, Learning a UK-based training certification body which runs the internationally-recognised Certificate in Training Delivery. Prove you can You have heard of a 'TTT', right? Simply put, it stands for 'Train the Trainer'. A Train the Trainerprogram is usually created to enable a training professional to deliver a specific piece of content to set standards. For example: When I worked at Disneyland Paris, I completed a TTT in order to prove that I could deliver on-boarding for new cast-members. I learned how to: Conduct a training needs analysis Design a training plan in order to satisfy job requirements Competently deliver a training session to adults Communicate via visual, auditory and kinaesthetic media Evaluate training program success In fact, I have undertaken multiple TTT's produced by a range of organizations over a number of years, including most recently, the TAP Certificate in Training Delivery for Experienced Trainers Although many 'internal' TTT's are good, many are not good enough. This is why organizations turn to the TAP as a 'benchmark' of trainer skills development. It is not uncommon for organizations to expect you and your training consultants to have completed such a qualification. Therefore, your TTT 'badge' proves that you have the necessary skills and experience to deliver a quality training experience. So when a prospective client next asks for proof of your training skills or those of your team. (what are you going to tell them?) Show your credentials Of course, TAP is not the only programme out there. Many countries have their own national bodies supporting training professionals in acquiring training skills e.g. AITD (Australian Institute of Training and Development), In the US, the ATD (Association for Talent Development) provides a robust and internationally-recognized Certificate in Training Design and Delivery In Ireland, the IITD offers a MA (Masters of Arts) in Learning & Development Consultancyin association with University College Cork. In the case of TAP, training professionals who pass the respective exam can put either TAP.cert, TAP.dip or TAP.mdip(Master Diploma) after their name. If you decide to take the relevant ATD route, you can put the coveted title ATD Master Trainer ™ on your LinkedIn profile. Once you have passed, you can proudly show your qualification on your LinkedIn page and/ or CV making it easy for prospects to find you. In the age of the internet, people make up their minds quickly. Having the right certification makes you, findable, hireable and professional. What are your next steps? Biggest takeaways for you today: Where TAP Learning is recognised internationally Which kinds of learning programs are offered by TAP Learning Why understanding Adult Learning Theory is essential Why you need to re-certify and how to go about it How to get your TAP Diploma or TAP Master Diploma Which resources are available to TAP Learning graduates Some helpful resources for you: TAP- TAP Learning for Training Professionals [UK] ATD- Association for Talent Development [USA] AITD- Australian Institute for Training and Development [AUS] IITD- Irish Institute of Training and Development [IRL] Disney Institute- Walt Disney's Training and Development Institute [USA]

In this episode we explore the assertion, “The best way to start developing your Customer Education program is to leverage Virtual Instructor-Led training.” Why would you want to use Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT). What are the options for delivering it? What kinds of pitfalls and tips would you suggest? Oh … and most importantly Adam sings for us, making this another can’t miss episode! Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) lets you prototype faster As Customer Educators, we know that content development is no small feat. It takes a long time to product and develop content. Self-paced, online, and interactive content take the longest. In this episode, we reference the content development estimates from the ATD (Association for Talent Development) 2017 survey. This survey shows that even an hour of passive e-learning takes 42 hours to create, and that balloons as development becomes more complex. When we’re developing for customers, passive won’t always cut it. When we create content, we often need it to have more interactivity to promote real learning goals. That’s why it’s important to know where you’re going when you create self-service content. While e-learning will provide more scale, vILT allows you to prototype content more quickly. (more…)

That's why it's important to know where you're going when you create self-service content. While e-learning will provide more scale, vILT allows you to prototype content more quickly. By putting together a virtual instructor-led version of your course, you will quickly test material. Based on what you learn, you can quickly iterate and then train again. We recommend running these virtual trainings as "beta" sessions with trusted customers to get input from them. These sessions can be free, even if the content you develop later will be paid. Tools for Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) You don't need fancy tools to get started with vILT, so there is a low barrier to entry. Any virtual meeting or webinar technology can be a starting point. For example, Zoom has become very popular, but companies like Citrix and Webex also offer common solutions. Once you have budget secured, you can use more sophisticated technology meant for virtual training or webinars, like GoToTraining, Adobe Connect, BigMarker, Demio, and more. Dave also suggests one of his favorite platforms, Twitch, is great for more than just video game streaming and US Army recruiting: it can also be a great way to do B2C software education. In fact, he wrote a whole article about it on Medium. A few points Dave makes about using Twitch for Customer Education, vs. traditional vILT or Webinar platforms: The interactivity is “turned up to eleven”The “friction” associated with conventional platforms is stripped away (Marketers love this!)You can follow or “subscribe” to channels that interest you — which notify you when they’re live Tips to run great vILT We've assembled some tips to use vILT to run your Customer Education program. First of all, scheduling and communication are critical. You need to work far in advance of your training to make sure everyone has the links, has downloaded the software, and shows up. vILT is usually "point-in-time" training, but it can be scheduled on a recurri
