How to Structure Objectives

Trainers can write objectives from any phase of the analysis process. From a big-group analysis, you create objectives that provide the basis for all objectives and are mainly for organization-wide training needs. On the other hand, objectives written from a small-group analysis provide detailed concepts and skills that will be taught in a single class or group of classes. As noted earlier, job and task analysis provides objectives at the learner level.

Basic Rule 14 If you cannot relate your objectives directly back to training analysis, something is really wrong. Go back and try it again.
