Time for action – creating a Scheme of Work


Identify a product or service that you want to improve the training for within your organization. You are tasked with creating the training for this product. So let us begin. For simplicity, take an existing product or service that you know well and go through the following steps. For this exercise, choose one or two audiences that you will focus on, to keep the objectives short and concise:

  1. Using MS Word, OpenOffice, or even on paper lets create the summary page as described above.

  2. Once this is done, on a second page, create a list of lessons that you want to deliver.

  3. For each lesson create a table as in the example above with the lesson name, learning objectives, resources, and activities.

  4. Review your work to ensure you are happy that the lesson summaries tackle your overall objectives and none were left out.
