Too often, training is an afterthought. After spending hundreds-of-thousands or even millions of dollars investing in a solution or developing a product, your users remain frustrated and inefficient, or your sales team can’t explain what they are selling. You need effective training, training that is audience specific, and a training solution that doesn’t break your budget.
How DL Consulting can help
The trick is to know the training audience, to understand where the student is coming from, and design training that speaks to them and meets their specific needs. Trainings must be audience-appropriate. Trainings should be short: only as long as needed to communicate the content. They should be engaging to keep the audience in a learning frame of mind. They should have variety: lectures, hands-on, videos, and more. Training works when participants are interested and motivated, and when the training holds their interest and sustains their motivation.
DL Consulting has decades of experience in creating all kinds of training curriculum and material, and we are skilled with the latest training technology including advanced e-Learning development and video tools. Our services include:
Curriculum design
Successful trainings start with a concise and well thought out curriculum. A solid curriculum looks a not only content, but how to best stage and deliver that content for maximum impact. What combination of lecture-style vs. hands-on vs independent work is right? How much information should be covered in each segment? In addition to specific content, DL Consulting also develops a comprehensive learning brief for every project to be clear on goals, target audience, and course parameters.
e-Learning training development
Web-based and computer-based e-Learnings are increasingly popular because of the low cost of delivery to students. The challenge is that, while modern tools make e-Learnings seem easy to create, subject matter experts lack the skills to understand what makes for a good and engaging e-Learning. DL Consulting has built dozens of e-Learning courses and lessons, and can combine advanced training skills with a solid engineering and technical background. The result is that DL Consulting can leverage your subject matter expert’s knowledge, and quickly build an effective series of e-Learning lessons that truly engage the students and deliver the required knowledge.
Training video development
DL Consulting has a variety of technologies to create videos to explain any technology. We can work with your SMEs to create the content, and even mentor your team on the various techniques to create high-quality videos that explain technology in an audience-appropriate fashion.

Instructor-led training development
Instructor-led trainings generally cost less to create, but far more to deliver. A key challenge in developing a good instructor-led training is to create materials that ensure success regardless of the instructor’s skill and style. DL Consulting has years of experience both creating and delivering trainings, and understand how good materials can be the key to ensuring that classroom style trainings are successful and providing a positive learning experience for the students.
