7. Selecting the trainer Some of the basis for selecting the trainers:
Training competencies – knowledge and skills required to design and implement a training program. Other skills would be ability to communicate well, use different instructional techniques, good interpersonal skills and able to motivate others to learn.
Subject matter expertise – Mastery of the subject matter with the ability to train others
An ideal trainer would be someone with both these competencies. Sometimes it maybe necessary to team up two trainers for effective results

10. Selecting Training Methods
The most popular instructional method has been classrooms programs for training. Selecting proper method would depend on the degree of activity expected. Lectures are least active while experiential methods like role playing, games, simulations and outdoor training are the most active. Some factors that need to be considered are:
The objectives of the program
Time and resources (financial) available
Availability of other resources
Trainee characteristics and preferences

11. Preparing Materials & Scheduling the Program
Preparing materials would depend on whether training has been outsourced or designed by the organization. Some pertinent issues that need to be considered are:
Program announcement
Program outlines
Training manuals and textbooks
Since organizations are busy, hectic and unpredictable hence goal would be to schedule it so that trainers and trainees are both available and focused on learning. Two types of schedules are normally used:
During work hours
After work hours
