Design the Most Cost-Effective Instructional Solutions

How should training be designed to achieve the instructional objectives in the most efficient way possible?

CEP drafts skill hierarchies to determine how all of the skills to be incorporated in the training program are related to each other. In other words, which skills need to learned first before more complex skills are introduced? This skill hierarchy is then used to design a "blueprint" that depicts how skills and knowledge will be combined into modules, and the sequence in which employees will progress through training.

The Benefits of Our Approach

	Ensures that learners have the necessary prerequisite and subordinate skills before they complete each module of instruction
	Establishes the exact number of modules needed to fulfill the instructional objectives
	Eliminates any potential duplication of skills being learned

Example
CEP worked with a leading paper products manufacturer to develop training for a new payroll system. CEP's consultants developed the following course map for HR Records Maintenance. This course map begins at the bottom with the basic skill of navigating through the system. Once this skill has been mastered, employees progress to more complex skills. Modules FE and PA contain skills that can be learned in any order.
