Arranging legal training for your organisation may seem like an uninspiring or even overwhelming task. There are online and in-person workshops, the potential for e-learning, and numerous programmes to join but which option is right for your organisation?
We know the whole process can be overwhelming, so we’ve put together a list of questions based on your desired outcomes, target audience, and format to set you on the right track!
Outcomes
Let’s begin with the key question:
Why do you and your organisation want to attend a legal training course?
- What is the training meant to achieve?
- What outcomes do you want?
Ask yourself:
Is the purpose of training to comply with a contractual obligation to a customer? Or must you attend to satisfy an internal or external audit requirement? Perhaps you need to raise organisation-wide awareness around a certain topic? Alternatively, does your organisation need to plan what action must be taken?
Target audience
Identifying your target audience(s) will help you identify and then map who needs to be trained on which topics. So the key question here is:Â
Who are we training?
- Can they be split into different groups?
- Do they all need the same training?
Format
Some target groups learn better by reading, others by watching, others by doing. So the key question in this category is:
What format should training be delivered in?
- What sort of time does your target audience have available to them?
- Would they benefit from in-person or online training?
- Do they require interactive training?
- Are they taking a deep dive into the topic or must they simply be briefed on it?
