Even the best developed and delivered training will be ineffective if learners do not see value in it. Adult Learning Principle #1 is RELEVANCE. Learners will ask how training will help them do their jobs easier, better, more efficient; and there better be a good answer!

Competency Based Training
Competency Based Training
Dr. McGrath is a certified DACUM Facilitator. This means at Convergence Learning we can conduct an occupational analysis of any job in your organization, producing an occupational or competency profile. These profiles capture every task and responsibility for any given role. From these, customized training plans can be developed to ensure that your people have the right knowledge and the right skills for the jobs they do.
Evaluation & Test Construction
Evaluation & Test Construction
Writing test questions may not seem hard, but writing effective tests that measure what is required precisely and effectively is surprisingly difficult. How many times have you written a multiple-choice examination that was easy because it was written poorly? At Convergence Learning we have experience writing certification (C of Q) exams for provincial trades apprenticeships as well as online tests and university undergraduate evaluations and exams.
Training Program Evaluation
Training Program Evaluation
Section 217.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada states: "Every one who undertakes, or has the authority, to direct how another person does work or performs a task is under a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent bodily harm to that person, or any other person, arising from that work or task." For managers, this means, in part, that if the training provided is found to be ineffective, you can be charged under the criminal code. The training at your organization may be in place, but is it defensible? Is it as effective as it could be, or should be? Will it stand up in court if someone gets injured and the effectiveness of the training provided is called into question? Be sure, let us review it for you.
