"If a training solution is tailored to an organisation, it can make changes at an individual level so that the organisation doesn’t go into crisis. It strengthens the sum of all the parts that make up an organisation." (Page 49, Transform your Training)
Training often meets general learning objectives but may fail to deeply engage participants when the examples and scenarios are not relevant to their specific work context. Tailoring a course ensures it meets the delegates’ needs and resonates with them. It connects them to the purpose of the training, highlights its relevance to their role, and provides techniques they can use immediately. Tailored training solutions can effect change at individual, team, and organisational levels, strengthening the sum of all parts.
“I feel the course has given me lots of tips on how I can tailor the training for the organisation and to also meet the needs of the delegates by having those initial discussions, finding our their ‘why’ and their needs for the training. The layering process is a really useful framework.”
Gillian Dawuda—Health and Social Care Trainer
This is an opportunity to coproduce where appropriate, working in partnership to develop and deliver the most impactful session possible. Tailoring the training to the participants’ sector, organisation, and individual roles enhances the learning experience, making it easier for participants to connect with the content, retain information, and apply it to their work. This is the primary reason people attend training.
"Tailoring training means a personalised level of service. The initial contact with an organisation (or department or team) is a facilitator’s opportunity to begin to get to know their prospective customer, so its importance shouldn’t be underestimated. It’s about the customer, not about the facilitator." (Page 61, Transform your Training)
Accessibility is key here, when developing or delivering training we use our standard accessibility checklist whilst also checking with the commissioner and participants whether any additional modifications are needed.
‘Tailored’ provides the opportunity to ensure both the content and facilitator are exactly what is needed. It ensures that every teaching moment is maximised, transforming training sessions from routine learning activities into highly relevant and motivating experiences. This approach directly benefits the participants’ work and aligns with the organisation’s goals.
“The scenario section was really useful as they were tailored to roles within my organisation which was really valuable in being able to see how I can implement safeguarding within my own role.”
