　　PART TWO: Mini-presentation

　　What’s important when…

　　Choosing a training program to attend 挑选培训课程时，需要考虑哪些点：

　　l Content/subjects covered 培训内容

　　l Trainer 培训教师

　　l

　　When choosing a training program, it’s important to consider the training content. As we know, the purpose of training is to improve your knowledge, skills and abilities needed for high quality performance and optimum contributions to the goals and objectives of your organization, so whether the subjects covered is targeted at your KSA of your job and whether the content is above your level are crucial. Otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.

　　In addition to content, trainers’ qualification and status are important. To make a training course effective, trainers play an important role. Qualification and status can at least prove that trainers’ KSA are of higher level, if not profound level, while trainers’ experience can guarantee effective training techniques and strategies, thus ensuring interesting, responsive and quality training.

　　Besides, location of training cannot be overlooked. Place of interest is preferable. Experts, together with beautiful scenery, make the training more attractive to trainees. Everyone would agree that it is a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

　　Length of training cannot be ignored either, training shouldn’t last too long or too short. Lengthy training will be boring and tiring, while too short training inadequate.

　　当选择一个培训课程，考虑培训内容是很重要的。因为我们知道，培训的目的是改善知识、技能和能力以达到高质量高性能的需求，并且为公司的目标做出巨大贡献。因此，培训是否涵盖培训工作中的知识、技能和能力以及内容是否超越你的水平至关重要。否则，将会是浪费时间和金钱。

　　除了培训的内容，培训讲师的资格和地位是很重要的。为了使培训课程有效果，讲师担当了重要的角色。资格和地位至少证明了讲师的KSA处于高水平。如果不具有资深的水平，讲师的培训经验也能保证有效的培训技巧和培训策略，因此,确保其是一个有趣味性、及时性和高质量的培训。

　　除此之外，培训的场所也不能被忽略。有趣的地方是最好的。专家们聚集在一个风景秀丽的地点，可以使学员对培训更感兴趣。大家都同意这是一个一石二鸟的好方法。

　　培训的长度也不能被忽视。培训不应该持续太长或太短时间。太长的培训会让给感到厌倦和劳累，同时太短的培训是不够的。

　　Training involves an expert working with learners to transfer to them certain areas of knowledge or skills to improve in their current jobs.

　　培训就是专家向学员传授某一领域的知识和技能以改进他们的现有工作。

　　Development is a broad, ongoing multifaceted set of activities (training activities among them)to bring someone or an organization up to another threshold of performance, often to perform some job or new role in the future.

　　发展是广泛的、持续的、多方面的系列活动(培训活动只是其中之一)，目的在于将某个人活着某个组织的的业绩提高到一个层次，通常是为将来从事某一工作或承担新的角色做准备。
