The A-E Professional Development Model
The A-E Professional Development Model was developed by Honey Shelton and is based on her 30 years of experience with adult learning and expertise on training retention. The model identifies five competencies that guide trainers during the entire training process. Users of the model will become keenly aware that the goal is for the learner to learn and not for the trainer to train. Using the model ensures that trainee leave the training session with knowledge, skill and motivation that translates into meaningful results. In our Train the Trainer: Design Skills course, the focus will be on the Create and Deliver module.

Create

Deliver

Evaluate

Shift the emphasis from training to
Our experts will demonstrate how to make training materials promote involvement and become more engaging. Participants will become keenly aware that the materials must compliment the speaker. Trainers don’t have to tell attendees everything they know. Rather they must find avenues for the attendee to leave a training program with the skill and motivation to apply what they learned.
