Survey Training Pack Preparing for the Training Session
2
Target Group Works best if centred around ONE planned survey Level of involvement of each participant in this survey should ideally be known Important to understand level of capacity of the group – needs assessment template provided Most challenging topics: sessions 1, 2, 3 and 4 Group size: not more than 8 to 10 participants for one facilitator Adaptation to the training materials may be required depending on level of capacity
3
Before Training Session Venue: ideally a location where participants will not be distracted – budget pending Classroom setup: should be coherent with methods used during the day Refining your training plan: clarifying objectives and matching those to proposed methods, tools and techniques Documents: agenda, course description, evaluation forms, etc.
4
Beginning of Training Welcome participants: being as warm as possible sets a positive tone for the entire training session Ice breaker to generate interest and build trust among training participants Elements to cover in the initial session: ground rules, agenda, expectations and logistical matters Clarify what is being covered in the training session Allow for a parking lot: always acknowledge questions and concerns that participants may express
5
Sequence of Training Day Typical sequence of a training day: Daily recap: dual objective – refresher and energiser Plan for 3 main breaks during the day: one in the morning, one for lunch and one in the afternoon Chrono-biological rhythm: lecture is best between 9-11 am, after lunch participants need to move, etc. Energiser after lunch is generally necessary End-of-day feedback as well as Q&A
6
Closure of Training Final recap: remind participants of key messages Review parking lot to make sure that all questions and comments have been addressed Revisit expectations – was everything covered? Course evaluation: oral as well as written is useful Contact information, links to useful resources, social event and informal certificate (if possible)

Methods Discovery: trainer does nothing; participants discover on their own; necessitates a lot of preparation from the trainer Demonstration: materials must be carefully prepared, best with smaller groups Questioning: success depends on trainer’s ability to master the Q&A format Explanation/telling: no feedback, harder to maintain attention
