Write a session plan 5

To plan an income oriented short training course you should follow this step by stepprocess. Writing a session plan is the fourth step in the process.

Planning an income oriented short training course


A session plan is the notes used by the trainer during training. The session plan includes allof the information needed by the trainer including content, resources and timing.

The content should be organised so that it gives the training session structure and to ensureinformation is covered in a way that helps trainees to learn.

For an example of a completed session plan refer to Appendix A at the end of these notes.

To write a session plan you need to know the learning outcome for the training course. Ifyou don’t have a learning outcome you will need to write one first.

Write instructions for quality and safety

When training someone to do something you must instruct them how to:

• perform the tasks safely

• produce good quality.

Example

For complete instructions for quality and safety for each task in the jam making course referto the session plan in Appendix A at the end of these notes.


Step 3. Write instructions for quality and safety

Activity Turn to the session plan format in Appendix B at the end of these notesand write instructions for quality and safety for each task.

List training resources needed for each task

What training materials do I need to list?

Training materials include those items you need to run the training including:

• raw materials

• equipment

• tools

• learning materials such as a work book or handouts.

For a complete list of training resources for each task of the jam making course refer toAppendix A at the end of these notes.

Activity Turn to the session plan format in Appendix B at the end of these notesand write in the training resources required for each task.

Step 4. List training resources needed for each task


Allocate time for training each task

How do I know how much time to allocate?

Remember you are working out how much time you need to teach someonethese tasks. When you are training you need to allow time:

• to demonstrate to the trainees how to do want you want them to do

• for the trainees to practice what you are teaching them.

ExampleIn the mango jam making course time has been allocated for:

• the trainer to demonstrate to the trainees how to:

1. Sterilise the jars

2. Prepare the ingredients

3. Cook the fruit mixture

4. Package and label the fruit

• the trainees to practice doing each of these things.

Step 5. Allocate time for training each task

For an example of how times are allocated to tasks in the jam making course refer toAppendix A at the end of these notes.

Step 5. Allocate time for training each task

Activity Turn to the session plan format in Appendix B at the end of these notesand allocate times for each task.


Write a training timetable

Why do I need a training timetable?

A timetable helps you to show how the training course will be organised. Itshows what tasks will be covered in the training each day, when you will

start and finish each day of training and where you plan to have breaks. This information isimportant to complete your session plan.

Follow these steps:

a) Decide which day of the week the training course should start.

b) Decide what time of the day training should start and finish.

c) Decide when breaks such as lunch, morning and afternoon tea should take place.

d) Add an introduction into each day’s program.

e) Transfer the steps you plan to cover from session plan for each day of training.

f) Add a conclusion at the end of each day’s program.

ExampleRefer to Appendix C for an example of a training timetable for the jam making course.

Step 6. Write a training timetable

Prepare an introduction and conclusion

The way you present information in a training session is referred to as the‘structure’ of the training session. The structure of a training session is like theframework for a house; it makes it strong and gives it shape.

A good way to structure the delivery of training is to use an introduction and a conclusion.

IntroductionBegin each day or section of training with an introduction. In your introduction you should:

• outline what you are going to be doing during the training

• tell the trainees the learning outcome

• provide motivation to trainees to learn.

ConclusionEnd each day or section of training with a conclusion. In your conclusion you should:

• summarise the main points covered during the training

• remind trainees of the learning outcomes

• give trainees some feedback.

• tell the trainees what training is next.

ExampleRefer to the jam making example Appendix A at the end of these notes.

Step 7. Prepare an introduction and conclusion

Activity Turn to the session plan format in Appendix B at the end of these notesand add in an introduction and conclusion for your training course.

This module is a guide to help you to write a session plan.

Every trainer has their own way of training. Use the formats asa guide and adapt them. We hope this book will give yousome ideas.


This module was designed to help you to write a session plan for a short training course.We have seen how a session plan is an important guide for trainers who need to cover theright information in the right order within the allocated time frames.

To write a session plan you need to know the learning outcome for the training course. Ifyou don’t have a learning outcome you will need to write one first.

To write a session plan follow these steps:

Spending the time to write a session plan gives you a lot more confidence when you arestanding in front of a group of trainees. There is nothing better than being prepared.
