ADDIEV TRAINING DEVELOPMENT MODEL

The academic and industry standard for course design, development, and delivery is the ADDIE model — a five phase process that provides a well-structured approach to producing the right training solution. The ADDIE process results in courses that achieve the desired learning outcomes and do so in ways that are efficient, effective, and considerate of an organization's resources and limitations.

Our evolved, six-phase ADDIE-V process gives clients a high-degree of project clarity and confidence ​— from the pre-course, training board session to the post-course, training validation survey with learners and their managers.

Analysis Phase

Identifies the training needed to meet a competency or performance deficiency

• articulate and justify the training need
• determine corporate resources and the expected scope and scale of training
• define the learning audience (types of learners)
• review the learner's operational context in order to understand what is relevant, appropriate and possible with respect to time, training modalities, etc.
• conduct a knowledge-skills-attitudinal (KSA) gap analysis
• write the performance objectives (desired learning outcomes)
• conduct difficulty-importance-frequency (DIF) analysis
• deliver the draft Qualification Standard​ and Training Plan (course blueprint)

Design Phase

Optimizes the training delivery to enable learners to achieve the expected competencies and performance

• deconstruct performance objectives into enabling objectives (scalar exercise)
• recommend instructional and assessment methodologies
• recommend training modality
• sequence lesson delivery and timings
• identify all credible references to be used by subject matter experts in content development
• deliver the final Qualification Standard with training, lesson, and assessment plans

Development Phase

Uses the Qualification Standard and plans to produce the course

• finalize instructional and assessment methodologies in the lesson plans
• schedule development in project management software, check the load and commit resources
• craft content for the audience and the training modalities
• create multimedia training and learning aids comprising of lessons, activities, practices, assessments and the final confirmation exercise
• quality assurance review throughout
• deliver the prototype​

Implementation Phase

Delivers the training solution designed to achieve the desired learning outcomes

• practice training delivery / train-the-trainer
• quality assurance review, version 1.0 prototype testing and gathering feedback
• tweak the course, quality assurance review and release version 2.0
• write lesson plans (includes instructor's guide)
• finalize curriculum, schedule, registration and administration
• finalize learner remediation, recourse and removal policies and guidance
• notify stakeholders of course availability
• deliver training

Evaluation Phase

Assesses whether or not the learning event has satisfied the training needs

• employ a learning and development evaluation plan
• monitor learning and instruction
• issue a standardized survey to learners and instructors
• collect, compile and report on feedback
• deliver / discuss the course report or compilation report​ (for serial courses)

Validation Phase

Assesses the Training Centre’s ability to meet training needs and achieve positive learning outcomes

• distribute standardized employer and employee surveys
• collect data and compile training metrics
• report on metrics and training success (aligned to corporate objectives)
• deliver a validation report with insights and recommendations​

Our ADDIE-V instructional design approach is: 

• structured and follows project management principles
• flexible — meaning that you can enter the process no matter what state your course is in 
• collaborative by design with Quality Assurance steps throughout
• highly focused on transferring knowledge, skills and attitudinal competencies and performance
• ideal for in-class, blended or online course development
• aligned with professional development and continuing education governance accreditation and course certification programs

​The ADDIE-V standard results in competency and performance based training programs that earn employees qualification certificates — ideal for enterprise-level training initiatives, succession planning and promotions.
