Despite your best efforts and dedication as an L&D professional, the results often fall short. Training sessions that seemed promising during development fail to create lasting change. Participants seem engaged during sessions but struggle to apply what they've learned when they return to their work. Knowledge evaporates within weeks, with performance metrics remaining unchanged despite significant investments in training. This disconnect between training efforts and actual results is frustrating, costly, and demoralizing for both you and your organization.

Think about how much time and energy you've invested in creating learning experiences that were quickly forgotten. Consider the awkward conversations with stakeholders when they question the ROI of your training initiatives. Remember the frustration of seeing the same performance issues persist despite multiple training attempts. Without understanding the fundamental mechanisms of how people actually learn, you're forced to rely on trends, intuition, or outdated methods — essentially throwing darts blindfolded and hoping something sticks.

Each ineffective training experience doesn't just waste resources; each ineffective training experience erodes confidence in your L&D function and diminishes your professional satisfaction. Meanwhile, the pace of change in today's workplace continues to accelerate, making effective learning more critical than ever. The gap between what you're trying to achieve and what's actually happening grows wider, leaving you caught in a cycle of redesigning the same training without understanding why it isn't working.

This concise course gives you the missing piece: Belcher's Model for Learning — a comprehensive framework that explains how people actually learn efficiently and effectively. In just 60 minutes of focused video content, you'll discover the fundamental mechanisms that drive successful learning experiences.

Understand how working memory, long-term memory, and practical application work together to create lasting learning.

Diagnose exactly where and why current training isn't working.

Design learning experiences that work with human cognition.

Organize training for maximum retention and application.

Anticipate and address the personal, organizing, and social factors that impact learning outcomes.

The course includes a practical challenge where you'll immediately apply what you've learned by modifying a small section in a training experience, aligning them with the Model for Learning.

Although changing established practices can feel challenging, staying stuck with ineffective training is far more frustrating and costly. The ideas in this course will transform your approach to learning and development, leading to beautifully-crafted training experiences that generate efficient and effective learning!
