About Trainiac

If you tell an adult something, often they’ll smile and soon forget. If they discover something for themselves, there’s a good chance that they’ll feel a sense of accomplishment. This new found knowledge and skill is more likely to be retained and applied. We base our skills development training methods on this principle. If your employees are empowered through learning, they’ll grow and from there, business results will follow.

Our Approach to Skills Development

Back in 2001, we discovered that by visually mapping learning content and crafting discovery-based activities around this; we were able to facilitate faster learning. It also fostered higher retention and application in the workplace. Our picture-based learning system that forms the cornerstone of our skills development training has evolved significantly over the past 10 years.

Past Successes

In 2002, we undertook our first project for a major global oil company. We were tasked with training 27,000 people, in 1,200 business locations across seven counties. We’ve since created customised solutions for five of the top 15 Global Fortune 500 Companies as well as many large listed companies in South Africa, Angola, Kenya, Botswana, UAE, Malaysia, USA and Canada.
We’ve undertaken 500+ projects all of which differ vastly in content, extent and complexity. It’s our skills development process which remains constant. We focus on the following stages of engagement:

  • Pre-sales – Exploratory, investigative
  • Analysis – Business objectives, learning outcomes, training environment, training capacity, measurement options
  • Design – Concept development, storyboarding, prototyping, peer review
  • Development of materials – Learning maps, cards, guides, assessment instruments, worksheets
  • Testing – Pilot, quality control, changes
  • Publishing – Digital e-learning or print including packaging
  • Implementation – Training learners, training trainers, supporting and managing trainers, managing implementation
  • Measurement – Audience reactions, learning outcomes, change in behaviour, business results
  • Maintenance – Keep material current and relevant

Our Values

By adhering to our well-established process, we’re able to focus on learner engagement at every step. Confidence happens when you give people a chance to ‘play’, experiment and practice what they’ve learned. We believe that this competence is a result of sound instructional design. With the right content and instruction you’ll get the understanding or behaviour change you’re looking for. Get more info on our mission and values.
