Instructor Led Training

Creating quality content that engages your learners

We’ve all been to through the training sessions that rely on an instructor reading the PowerPoints hour after hour, day after day, until we think we will implode from boredom. Get a better set of curriculum from Allen. We engage learners with activities, groupwork, and roleplay activities that illuminate your business objectives in a memorable way. 

For instance, one client asked Allen to create a sales simulation they could use at their next sales convention. They wanted to group people together for a friendly competition in a fun, engaging way that realistically simulated a sales environment. The sales simulation went over so well, the client now uses this simulation as part of their onboarding process. Download the case study to see for yourself.

At Allen, we can create courses, activities, timelines, PowerPoints, handouts, guides, etc. to make sure your next ILT is successful for your learners and your objectives. We take you step by step—from analyzing content and objectives to designing layout and even training the trainer—to create the look, feel, and message that elucidates your objectives and captures the attention of your learners.

Five ways we capture your learners:

• 1. We’re experts at bringing multimedia into the classroom for use in demonstrations, games, and scenarios.
•  
• 2. We believe in bridging the classroom experience with the work experience. We specialize in designing tools, wizards, reference materials, and other job aids that improve knowledge transfer and actually maximize on-the-job productivity.
•  
• 3. Our classroom simulations go beyond simple role playing exercises and scenarios to create realistic work environments with fully-developed, complex challenges. We break down classroom walls, spark competition, build teamwork, and inspire learners to reach higher levels of analysis and critical thinking.
•  
• 4. We have a team of instructional designers whose skills complement those of your trainers. Instructional design and stand-up training are related but different skills. Much of ILT is overly (even entirely) dependent upon delivery. Our designers seek to maximize your trainers' delivery skills with engaging activities and materials that can be successfully adapted across your entire training team.
•  
• 5. We know which training modalities will best meet your needs and will design a blended curriculum that leverages the strengths of each modality. We map out the learner experience—the complete experience—across the full range of tools and resources available, including coaching, assessment, goal-setting, instructor-led training, web-based training, on-the-job training, job aids, maintenance training, and more.

The philosophy behind the instructional design makes the difference between a good course and an award-winning one.
