My passion and area of specialization is in Learning & Development (L&D).

My mission is to assist employees and organizations to achieve higher productivity, quality, and effectiveness through training.

There are three (3) training methodologies you can choose to empower your employees’ learning and development:

1). PHYSICAL INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING (ILT) METHOD

Nothing can replace this traditional and most popular training method – – using an instructor to lead the participants in learning, practicing specific skill-sets and provide real-time feedbacks in a physical classroom environment. This method has the following benefits:

Maximizes Engagement, Encourages Participation, Lively Interactions, Fun, Enrich Experiences.
Improves Teamwork, Improves Communication and Discipline – – Participants meet, learn, collaborate and do things together as a team. It improves communication skills, enforces discipline at the same time allows participants to enjoy success through ‘sweating it out’ together.

For Instructor-Led Training (ILT) programs, I have created a separate website ( http://www.mytrainingprovider.com ) to provide you with more detailed information on the courses available. Please click on the hyperlink to visit the website.

If your company is looking for a professional trainer service to train your employees on various training courses, please contact me.

2). REMOTE ONLINE TRAINING (R.O.T) METHOD

This is remote online training where you meet the Instructor virtually online via emeetings platform like Zoom/Skype/Google Meet, etc.

Since Covid-19 pandemic spread, organizations are embracing the ‘New Norm’ of conducting trainings online to comply to the social-distancing and travel restriction requirements. This method has the following benefits:

Remote Online – – Converting physical training into remote online platform, this allows organization to stay safe and empowers employees to ‘work-from-home’. While it lacks the liveliness, engagements and spontaneity of the physical ILT trainings, ROT is equally attractive as it complies to the social-distancing and travel restrictions requirements.
Easily Accessible, Fast, Convenient – – eMeetings are very easily accessible, ROT provides immediate feedback/comments and make it a lot more convenient and quick. It facilitates and simplified corporate training feedback. Managers can view videos of learning demonstration and use this opportunity to discuss training issues more effectively.
Cross-Platform, Collaborative Learning, Cost-effective – – Online learning platforms offer a variety of powerful communication tools (chats, instant messaging, forums, videos, online grading tool, online discussions, drop boxes archive, etc). All of these tools offer great flexibility in terms of ensuring timely communication and it is cost-effective. Your employees will also most probably learn most from other participants, besides from the Instructor.

Personally, I prefer the third option or Blended eLearning (BeL) method. (Please see below). However, if your company wants to convert your existing ILT training method into remote online training, please contact me. I can customize some of my physical ILT training into ROT format to suit your company’s training requirements.

3). BLENDED eLEARNING (BeL) METHOD

Blended eLearning (BeL) = (A). eLearning + (B). Remote Online Training (ROT).

Blended eLearning (BeL) method is the latest fully remote online blended learning methodology that combines:

(A). eLearning – – or Self-learning online using a Learning Management System (LMS), …plus…

(B). Remote Online Training (ROT) – – virtually meeting with the Instructor online using emeeting platform like Zoom/Skype/Google Meet, etc

It has all the benefits of both eLearning and ROT (mentioned above).

I have created a dedicated website to promote this latest BeL training platform, please click here (http://myblendedelearning.com) for more information.

Realizing the importance and tremendous benefits of Blended eLearning (BeL) , many organizations nowadays are switching to BeL method.

Instead of conducting training courses in ‘piece-meal fashion’, many organizations prefer to plan out a longer term skills and career development plans for their employees.

I can assist your organization to customize and convert your in-house existing custom-training programss into Blended Learning (BeL) format.

“Customized Training programs can better fit, support and align with your organization’s culture and strategies.”

Throughout my 33 years of working experience, I am privileged to had served hundreds of multi-national companies, from diverse industries, on their training needs for their employees’ career development plan. From these experiences, I have developed a list of core (or foundational) critical training programs for different levels of employees.

In order to simplify the list, I have divided them into three levels of management (Top, Middle, Operational-Directs) and four categories of training program groups (TLMP, MLAP, MLTP, ODLP).

The four categories of training program groups are:

TOP LEVEL – – MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (TLMP)
– Example: Dept. Heads, Manager & Above.

MIDDLE LEVEL – – ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAM (MLAP)
– Example: Section Heads, Officers, Analyst, Supervisors, etc.

MIDDLE LEVEL – – TECHNICAL PROGRAM (MLTP)
– Example: Engineering Section Heads, Engineers, Technical Specialist, IT Analysts, etc.

OPERATION DIRECTS LEVEL PROGRAM (ODLP)
– Example: Asst. Engineers, Technicians, Administrative Clerks, Line Trainers, Line Leaders, Operators, etc.

For each category of training program group above, there is a recommended list of critical training courses cater for their career development.
