Chapter 3. Differentiators of Technical Training

WHILE THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES between technical and non-technical training, research, interviews, and surveys completed for this book yielded twenty-four distinct differences. The premise is that knowledge drives action. Understanding these differences enables training professionals to develop and deliver the right product and service to the right people at the right time. In this chapter, we look at these differences between technical training and other types of training in depth and analyze them alongside the ADDIE model of instructional design. Training actions that should be considered for each differentiating factor are offered.
