Get More from Tech Training |

You feel like
you're learning something while you're being taught, but
once your tech training is over, you realize the
information didn't stay with you. Now you're staring at
the screen desperately trying to remember what the
trainer told you to do to unlock this wonder of
technology called your computer.
If you find yourself in this situation every time you
return from a tech training class, here are some
specific strategies you can employ before, during and
after your training to help you retain what you've just
worked so hard to learn.
Before Training
One reason we have trouble retaining what we learn is
that we don't play to our strengths. So before you go to
training, think about how you learn best. Train to your
learning style, says Dan Rauzi, senior director of
technology programs and training for Atlanta-based Boys
& Girls Clubs of America. If reading something is the
way you learn, then read all the materials that are
given out in the class and make notes on them. If it's
practice that works for you, then make sure you get
plenty of time to do that in the class.
Another way to hold on to more knowledge is to think
about what you want to learn before you even walk in the
door. It seems obvious, but very few people think about
what they want to get out of training before going in,
says Marc Russell, a senior analyst at T-Mobile USA in
Seattle. If I can go into a generalized training course
with an idea of what I want to come away with, I'll be
synthesizing the course material and my actual needs
throughout the experience, he says. That will lead to
better retention and, hopefully, learning even more than
I set out to.
And don't forget to take care of business before leaving
for training. Attendees who come to class worried about
projects or a backlog at the office spend their time
checking Web mail and voice mail, and lose their focus
on learning new skills or techniques,says Christopher
Smith, president of the Aquent Graphics Institute in
Boston, which provides training in creative software
tools such as Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver, InDesign and
Photoshop.
You might be a critical member of your company, but your
office won't implode because you're out for the day, he
continues. Focus on your training, and you'll return to
your office in a better position to be more productive.
During Training
During class, evaluate what you're learning and note the
information that seems most relevant. If it's not clear
as to why a topic is being discussed, you should ask how
it is used and how it might apply to what you do,Smith
says. A good instructor should be able to relate topics
being covered to your needs.
When a particular skill is taught, assess its value to
you by looking at your list or asking yourself if
there's a possible link. Even if the connections are
tenuous in the beginning, it will help you look at how
you're doing things in a new way that can help you be
more efficient, Rauzi says.
What if you realize the class isn't for you? Excuse
yourself or wait until a break and speak to an
administrator, Smith counsels. A good training provider
wants to put you in the right class to improve your
skills and will spend time working with you to make sure
you are in a class appropriate for your needs and skill
level.
After Training
Try to put your training to use as soon as possible.
Block out time immediately after training to practice
what you've learned, says Wes Trochlil, president of
Effective Database Management in Hamilton, Virginia. Too
often we go right back to work after training, rather
than taking time to reinforce the learning that just
took place.
And don't hesitate to follow up with your instructor or
fellow participants. Learning doesnt stop just because
the training's over, says Russell. Staying in touch will
help you continue to develop your skills and abilities
long after the class is done. |
