Training sessions are good – it gives you break from your schedule, you go back to classroom environment, immerse yourself in the subject and at the end come out charged and hoping to apply all you have learnt.

But the problem starts when you are back to your job and you realize that you have forgotten most of the thing. Don’t worry – you are not alone and this is called “lack of retention” which is a classic problem with training programs. Many research have pointed out that “the time between person learning and using it is important”. It is upon individuals to apply the skills as soon as possible and increase retention. Also the “applying skills” phase is after the training program ends which is outside the domain of trainers or organisation. So effectively there is no way stakeholders can increase retention unless individuals make an effort.

How would it be if your trainer is available to you forever when you need him. It is not possible for physical trainers. Does eLearning courses solve this. Probably no – because you can search and find information but more time goes in finding information than applying it. Also many of the video based courses are not searchable. So the irritation of deciphering the information for your scenario is still to be solved.
