Training Method
and Tools
These methods and tools create a good learning environment and participants experience to share information and build team while working. They learn and enjoy each other at the same time, which breaks the ice and overcomes cultural barriers.

Training Concept

Within the wide range of training courses focusing on different subject matter issues, basically ACTION LEARNING FOR DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION follows 3 types of training concepts:
Standardized courses without follow up, conducted as a package with a training programme scheduled for a set period of time (e.g. 1 week, 10 days) which might be on the agenda several times within one year.
Customized courses with or without follow-up developed for the particular training needs of a certain community, institution, organization or Ministry but also scheduled for a set period of time (e.g. 1 week or 10 days).Customized courses as modular training developed for the particular training needs of a certain community, institution, organization or Ministry, but conducted over a period of several months possibly 1 or 2 years.
Like in all modular trainings, it is intentional that the modules successive build on each other providing a comprehensive capacity building on the respective subjects. In the case of the CTP program which consists of 5 modules, each 1-week, over the period 1 year, the last module covers ToT to enable the trainees to conduct own training and rise awareness on the course subjects (see above Training Content and Achievement).
In customized courses, based on the proposal by the client ACTION LEARNING FOR DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION each time makes own assessment and develops a training course and concept tailored to the particular needs of the target group. This assures focusing on the specific issue, the location, knowledge of people, skills and attitudes required for the work and the gaps that exist, and makes it easier for the trainer to attract more people, easier for trainer and trainee to agree on the aims of training, methods of training and assessment.
Strengths of Training
Flexibility of training in regard to local means and knowledge;
Trainers committed and dedicated to the issue, show high involvement, build-up good relationship with trainees;
Support in planning to use training skills after training;
Trainees enabled to build-up network;
Coaching of trainees after formal part of training course(s);
Trainers train in pairs, loosing one does not jeopardize the training, replaceable;
Trainees get public acknowledgement through more possibilities after training to exposure and practice of learned skills;
Trainers leave to other (higher paid) jobs.

Weaknesses of Training
Trainers difficult to recruit, job requires flexibility (working hours, location), sometimes coincides with family obligations;
Incentives to low: only lunch and transport money for meetings, housing in village should be provided;
Continuation of training work depends on individuals motivation and leadership character (networking and group meetings are supportive);
Government trainees sometimes not dedicated to the issue.
Publications, Curricula, evaluation reports etc.
