New Trainers who have little or no experience in instructional
skills
Any other persons interested in developing skills for training
adults
TARGET AUDIENCE
PROFILE &
LEARNING
PREFERENCE
Language preferred – English
Little or no experience in teaching / training
Want training to be hands-on
Don’t like technical jargons
Provide simple and practical templates

the first part of this training program as exercise material
12. Goals
• Goal is the general intent of the course –
the business purpose the course was

Issues in building lesson plans
• Performance Objectives Missed out in many
lesson plans
• Many lesson plans don’t contain activities that
will test for transfer of learning
• Many lesson plans may not put the Adult
Learning Principles into practice (e.g. use only on
lectures but no exercises, practice sessions,
quizzes etc)
• Lesson plans did not contain
– Opening activity
– Closing activity
