Course Overview:

This course is a cutting-edge corporate training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to transform traditional training into agile, blended learning systems. Drawing directly from the ILO guide Digitalisation and Blending of Training Programmes, this course guides learners through the six-step digital transformation framework, emphasizing real-life use cases such as SELFIE, INFOTEP, and YETI. Participants will explore best practices in digital transformation in training, instructional design strategies, digital content development, and e-learning integration. Practical modules will cover the implementation of learning management systems (LMS), integration of AI, VR, and AR in training, and the creation of interactive and inclusive online learning platforms. This course aligns with global trends in blended learning course development, ensuring that training becomes learner-centred, scalable, inclusive, and measurable. Keywords such as digital transformation in training, hybrid training methods, TVET digital strategy, digital pedagogy framework, and future-ready workforce training are embedded throughout the learning journey.

FAQ:

What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?

Participants should have experience in training, instructional design, or organisational development. Basic familiarity with online learning tools is beneficial but not mandatory.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each day's session is generally structured to last around 4-5 hours, with breaks and interactive activities included. The total course duration spans five days, approximately 20-25 hours of instruction.

How do we know if our training institution is ready for digitalisation?

Using the SELFIE tool and the e-readiness analysis from the ILO guide, institutions can evaluate their infrastructure, digital capabilities, trainer competencies, and learner access. These tools help determine current maturity levels and areas that require development before launching blended learning.

How This Course is Different from Other Digitising and Integrating Training Programmes Courses:

What sets this course apart is its foundation in the ILO's globally endorsed six-step methodology.
