    Jen Anderson

    "For the past 17 years, I have been a manager, facilitator, and instructional designer in the learning and development world. In 2015, I joined the Total Trainer program for its networking opportunities, and to revisit some training development foundations. Though I am a seasoned professional, this program was quite beneficial. Not only did it introduce me to other members of ATD-OC, but I also obtained some new tools and insight on how to enhance my results.

    Each class is taught by a different facilitator which allows you to learn and experience a variety of approaches to creating and facilitating training. I enjoyed the Total Trainer - Creating Training program so much that I attended the Total Trainer - Delivering Training program also. I’ve incorporated many of the concepts from the programs into my development and facilitation portfolio. This includes the questioning techniques which I incorporated into facilitator guides resulting in better questions not only for the facilitators, by myself as well as while I’m facilitating. I believe it has helped me better connect with the participants and better validate content understanding.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the program and believe it’s so valuable that I volunteered to be on the project team for the next round. I’m excited to help bring this program to others. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this program in more detail please reach out to me jen@learningsolutionsbyjen.com."

    “After years as a sales and marketing executive, I found myself launched into the realm of training and development as a training facilitator without any formal education. ATD-OC’s Total Trainer - Creating Training class quickly elevated my knowledge on fundamental training concepts, needs assessment, program design and evaluation. 

    Thanks to ATD-OC's comprehensive course, I am now able to actively offer solutions to improve our class offerings and take on training leadership responsibilities with considerable confidence.

    Jesus Avalos

    "Having been a training professional with almost a decade’s worth of experience, but very little formal training, I found that there were large gaps in my knowledge that were holding me back in my new role as Training Director. 

    The Total Trainer program not only provided me with theoretical models to complement my practical experience, but gave me new and better ways to approach familiar challenges. 

    In short, the Total Trainer program not only made me more efficient and effective, but most importantly (to me) made me more confident as a trainer. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone looking to take their skills and knowledge to the next level. 

    I’d be happy to answer questions about the program, if you’d like to reach out to me at: JAvalos@JoinedInc.com."

    Melissa Ruiz

    I fell in love with training when I was a Subject Matter Expert.  I knew there must be more to training than what I was doing as a SME, but didn’t know what those other parts could possibly be. 

    Enter the Total Training Program from ATD-OC which filled in those gaps. 

    It allowed me to understand all the parts that make up a training program from needs analysis to evaluation and the skills of how to do it all. 

    This is essential for newbies like myself entering the Training and Development field. 

    It also did something else, it helped me recognize and confirm the skills and abilities I already had which could be dovetailed into creating content.  That coupled with the talented facilitators, great networking opportunities, real world application while gaining confidence and acquiring new skills made the tuition so worth it.  

    A thoroughly enjoyable program. 

    Please contact me if you would like to learn more about it.

    As a sales trainer, I've trained and coached hundreds of sales people over the last 20+ years. In the spirit of upping my game, I attended ATD-OC’s Total Trainer program. 

    Not only did I learn key concepts for design and development, I also connected with successful professionals who shared their proven practices, tips and tricks. 

    I have applied many of the concepts with success! The hands on exercises, great facilitation, and relevant content were spot on, making this session a must, in my opinion, for both new and seasoned professionals.
