Note:

·          One training class per module will be given based on the “Train the Trainer” concept.

·          All deliverables where MyConsultant has the primary responsibility are within the scope of work and MyConsultant will be responsible for their delivery.

·          MYCOMPANY will be involved in all activities for which MyConsultant has main responsibility

·          All deliverables where MYCOMPANY has the primary responsibility will be carried out and delivered by the MYCOMPANY project team and key users where applicable.  However, MyConsultant consultants will be available to provide assistance and advice when required

·          MYCOMPANY project team members and key users will prepare and document the user procedure manual with support from MyConsultant. MYCOMPANY team members will assist key users in producing all required deliverables

·          The “Train the Trainer” approach to training will be adopted, where MyConsultant will provide training to key users of MYCOMPANY. The key users will then train the end users on the processes and usage of the system.



3    Trainer and End User Training



During the project, MyConsultant will conduct Train the Trainer (MyConsultant recommends a minimum of 2 trainers per module) training for the project team.  Training will be based on MYCOMPANY’s configuration, and conducted with the respective work groups, typically for a period of 3 - 7 days per module, over a period of approximately three (3) weeks.



MYCOMPANY Trainers will in turn conduct End User Training during the final preparation phase.



It is MYCOMPANY’s responsibility to ensure that the required training infrastructure is available for all training and training related activities. For example training servers, classrooms, projectors, network connections, and PC workstations, including PCs and communication facilities for Consultants should be in place, and trainers and trainees should be scheduled prior to commencing training activities.



MyConsultant will help develop training materials (Course presentations; exercises; evaluation grid; etc.) for the end user trainings.
