Instructional Design Train the Trainer (T3ID)

The Instructional Design Train the Trainer (T3ID) program by DTCI is a detailed, advanced instructional design training for trainers developed for experienced facilitators who are looking to enhance their expertise in Instructional Design training skills. Unlike traditional train-the-trainer (T3) workshops that focus only on facilitation, this program goes deep into the art and strategy of instructional design, helping participants to create content and learning experiences that drive business results.

This 2-day interactive workshop uses a learner-focused and results-driven approach, focusing on how participants learn, what influences retention, and how to connect learning solutions with measurable results. It addresses the increasing need for scalable, flexible and digitally enabled learning strategies within corporate settings.

Participants are introduced to widley accedptable and recognaised instructional design models such as ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the Dick & Carey Systems Approach, and Rapid Prototyping. Participants learn through a combination of theory and practical design labs and apply these models to actual cases, get constructive feedback, and revise to enhance their solutions.

This advanced instructional design program also emphasises design thinking principles, helping learners to solve difficult training challenges using creative, iterative processes. From identifying learner personas to evaluating transfer mechanisms, the curriculum enables holistic thinking about instructional impact.

In addition, this program includes a blended learning design module based on the 70:20:10 framework, where participants learn skills in distributing learning interventions across formal training, peer interaction and on-the-job application. This approach ensures long-term engagement and effectiveness beyond the classroom.

With guided group activities, peer feedback, facilitator coaching, and stakeholder presentation simulations, participants refine their design proposals, ensuring alignment with both learner needs and organisational priorities.

To support post-workshop learning, the program includes a 30-day post-program engagement involving reflection tools, assessments, and evaluation of actual training programs conducted by participants. This ensures continuous application, mentoring, and feedback.

By the end of the T3ID program, participants walk away with a strategic mindset, practical tools and a learner-focused approach that improves their instructional design capability to the next level.
