Maintenance Transport Packaging
How Are Courses Developed?
Noticing a trend in inquiries or sales Members approaching us directly Proposal submitted and evaluated. General committee agreement on content
and instructor Marketing efforts Course launched
Proposal Process
Proposal to Technical and Professional Training Staff for review and evaluation.
Includes: target audience, suggested topics to be covered, lesson plan
General agreement from committee Work with staff manager, marketing, PR Need to demonstrate market for both public
and private classes.
Development and Instruction
Course developers can be paid a consulting fee
Instructors are paid a daily fee plus all expenses
Doesn’t have to be same person to develop as to teach
On-line Training
First electronic training product developed in 2000.– 2-day live course converted to CD ROM.
Currently evaluating web-based applications for existing and new courses.– Condensed versions of live courses– Stand-alone segments from live courses.– Short tutorials on individual standards.
Take These Ideas Home with You
Could your committee sponsor a TPT? Would there be a market need for training
on any of your committee’s standards? Are there any new activities going on with
your committees that represent an opportunity for training?
We are always looking for new ideas…staff is here to support you!
