There must be an equity in the relationship  between the trainer and the trainee to set a trustful  training environment. Therefore, and to make that constructive relationship, each one must be aware of his role: The trainer should be well knowledgeable , well prepared, motivating, have the necessary skills and contents/ subjects to deliver.. While for the trainee , he/she should be ready of the responsibility position outside the training, so he needs to be ready to develop his/her skills, be part of the productive process within the framework of being trained…

It doesn't matter how many skills you are trained for.  For me, what's important is that you can prove that you are able to perform the skills you received the training for.  You can have all these certificates of training in the world but if you can't prove or show that you can perform them efficiently then training certificates are useless.

The skills you gain are dependent on the TRAINEE and not the TRAINER.  The best trainers can faciliate the best trainings and give the trainee all the knowledge he or she needs.  It's all up to the trainee to absorb the knowledge and put it to practical use.

Thanks for your invitation and happy new year and others. I think as training' suggests putting stuff into people, when actually we should be developing people from the inside out - so they achieve their own individual potential - what they love and enjoy, what they are most capable of, and strong at doing, rather than what we try to make them be. 'Learning' far better expresses this than 'training'. Training is about the organisation. Learning is about the person The word 'learning' is significant: it suggests that people are driving their own development for themselves, through relevant experience, beyond work related skills and knowledge and processes. Learning describes a person growing. Whereas 'training' merely describes, and commonly represents, transfer of knowledge or skill for organisational gain, which has generally got bugger-all to do with the trainee. No wonder people don't typically enjoy or queue up for training. When you help people to develop as people, you create far greater alignment and congruence between work and people and lives - you provide more meaning for people at work, and you also build and strengthen platform and readiness for any amount of skills, processes, and knowledge development that your organization will ever need. Obviously do not ignore basic skills and knowledge training, for example: health and safety; how to use the phones, how to drive the fork-lift, etc - of course these basics must be trained - but they are not what makes the difference. Train the essential skills and knowledge of course, but most importantly focus on facilitating learning and development for the person, beyond 'work skills' - help them grow and develop for life - help them to identify, aspire to, and take steps towards fulfilling their own personal unique potential. So, I think both of them have a big deal and relationship to come up with development.

If you always put limit on everything you do, in training or anything else - it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

Learning is continuous process and we keep on learning from cradle to grave and as we grow, nature of acquiring skills and knowledge is change. From training session, we have specific topic where we learn a particular set of competencies. Research has been done on acquiring skills and learning and the best way to learn is through on-job training. Through class room training, we only learn 10%. So the more we practiced, more we learn.

Learning is a part of our daily lives.  We learn from personal experiences, from the testimonies of others,  from a classrooms etc.  These are all applicable not only at home but to workplace as well.

 

Limiting learning means limiting our capability to adopt, improve and be a better us. 

 

In my opinion,  trainer is a factor of the learning but the will to learn from the trainee counts most.  A trainee with the will to learn will find a way to learn.  This is where the role of HR gets in by motivating the employee to learn.

Training is a profession and a Trainer must be a professional who specialises at it. Who should deliver the training - this depends on the type of training to be conducted. If we are talking about a functional training, then the manager may be a good choice as he knows the subject better. However, if it is - let's say - a Soft Skill course - then a Soft Skill Trainer must conduct it!

Learning does not adhere to certain limits, either the level of responsibility and benefit can be shared.

Training Need Analysis or Training Need Assessment is something where you identify key areas of improvement and on the basis of that you design and deliver your training. It depends on both, (first) trainer or HR professional who identify key skills or areas of improvement and then it depends on trainee that how quickly he adapts.
