View the Developing Training Courses course All Training & coaching courses →You know your subject, you have delivered the day and the evaluation came in at 8.2. Six weeks later, nobody is doing anything differently. That is rarely down to how you stood in front of the group. It is almost always down to choices you made at your desk: which question you answered, which objectives you set and how much time you kept free for practice.
This free online course is the starter for our full Developing training courses. In four chapters you sharpen up the learning question behind the assignment, formulate learning objectives you can test, build a programme with an opening, a body and a close, and agree how you will later measure whether it has landed. Each chapter ends with a three-question knowledge check, so that you notice straight away whether it sticks.
The full course goes on to cover the models behind learning itself: the three brain levels, Bales' learning pyramid, Gardner's multiple intelligences and Kolb's learning styles. Under guidance, you design a core exercise, you work your programme out into a script with minutes and materials, and you lay your own design alongside those of the other participants. Would you like to take those steps with an experienced designer alongside you, and with your own training question on the table? Then take a look at the Developing Training Courses course.

IntroductionHow this free course is structured and what you learn in the four chapters.
1.-
Sharpening the learning questionThe circular design model, the six themes of the intake conversation and the problem statement in terms of knowing, being able and thinking.
2.-
Learning objectives you can assessThe four levels of learning objectives, the four test questions, the be-smart check and calculating with learning time.
3.-
Building your programmeHead, heart and hands per block, head-body-tail within a half-day session and the step-by-step plan that safeguards the order.
4.-
Testing whether it has landedThe difference between satisfaction and effect, the four-step evaluation ladder and the way back to your design.
5.-
Connecting with the three brain levelsWhat participants judge your programme on in the first few minutes, and how you build safety into your design.
6.-
Bales' learning pyramidThe seven levels of retention, what that means for the balance in your programme and how you move from telling to letting people experience.
7.-
Multiple intelligences according to GardnerEight intelligences in the training room, working methods per intelligence and variation without gimmicks.
8.-
Kolb's learning stylesThe learning cycle on two axes, the four learning types and a programme block that completes the cycle.
9.-
Learning through experience as the starting pointTheory as a means and behaviour as the goal, participants' knowledge as the starting point and the translation to the workplace.
10.-
Designing at high speedBrainstorming with the egg timer, choosing the core exercise, the intermediate exercise and the slide into the theory.
11.-
The introduction to your courseFive things you deal with in the first few minutes, openers that work and managing expectations.
12.-
Energy and embedding in your programmePlanning the energy level of a day, working methods that bring attention back and a closing that sticks.
13.-
The scriptWriting out your programme to the minute, a back-up programme in reserve and the checklist for your materials.
That is the difference with a pdf: there is someone standing in front of the class who answers your questions and thinks along with your own situation.

I found the 'Interview Techniques' course to be good. Nothing to fault. It was also good that Job called beforehand for a short preliminary discussion. You don't see that very often. A very worthwhile course. It also had a strong element of repetition. Plenty of variety, including between theory and practice. Learned a lot, and applied it straight away during the course. And I think these learnings will also help me further when conducting interviews.

We took the Outlook, Teams and OneNote course with Roy Nieuwenhuijzen. Good content, and a few days before the course he got in touch with me (coordinator of the course, head of the secretariat). Pleasant that you can fill in the day itself as needed. The booklet for reference is rather dated, but apparently there is little up-to-date material to be found.

In May 2024 I took the WordPress course. As an IT enthusiast with broad but not necessarily deep knowledge, I wanted to know more about WordPress. How do you install everything and how do you start building a website. This course is extremely well suited to that. From the outset you learn in 3 days how to start a website and what to look out for. I now have a solid basis for getting to work with WordPress and I know my way around the various options. The course is recommended for anyone who wants to learn in three days what WordPress can do and how to apply it.

Your own motivation and commitment are essential if you want to master something new. You can get a long way with self-study. Learnit wants to contribute to this by offering valuable content such as free webinars and courses. This way you can get acquainted with new fields of learning. Once you have made a start, you may discover that there are also many advantages to taking a course at Learnit under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
In short, you achieve much more in less time.
The free courses are suitable for home study, as you can download them online as a PDF. The range of free courses consists of IT and Communication & Management courses. Would you like to learn more about these subjects, or is the subject you want to learn about not included? Then take a look at our courses.
In this workshop you take a closer look at Kolb's learning cycle and its four stages: experience, reflection, conceptualisation and experimentation. You gain insight into your own learning process and that of others, and learn how to apply this theory to increase learning effectiveness.
You are standing in front of the group and things grind to a halt. One person switches off, another sulks. In this course you learn to recognise resistance, diagnose it and turn it into room for learning.
In this Train the Trainer course you work on your personal training style and learn to set up training courses from preparation to evaluation. You practise with working methods, dealing with resistance and conveying course material, and finish with your own mini-training.
Learnit offers more than 300 IT and Communication & Management training courses. The courses are given as one-day or multi-day courses, and almost all of them can also be given as a workshop. In addition, Learnit offers courses as e-learning and as a combination of e-learning and classroom lessons.
Learnit has many locations throughout the country, so there is a good chance that a course is also given near you! A course can also be given in-company, in which case it takes place at your own company or organisation.
