How to prepare before making your training plan
...
- The overall project plan, before you start any training. See:
- The training budget, Unless you plan how many days Readysell will spend on site in advance for training purposes, you are likely to get a more training charges than you expect by the end of the project. Make sure you plan Readysell's days on site
- The IT and learning skills of your team
- Your business requirements, see Readysell Project Engagement Meeting
- Your training expectations
- Your teams ability to put time into self training (We work on a train the trainer basis. 2 people trained at the same time together and they go an train the staff)
- Your preparation to stick to the plan. Talk to your staff, give them a clear indication of what you expect from them and advise that the go live weekend is not for training, training must all be done before the go live weekend.
- Make sure you understand The five factors that will determine the success of your training and of the project
- Also consider Why why agreeing on your training budget learning skills training expectations and self training are critical

Readysell's day rate is contained in the "Readysell Service Fee Policy - Office Brands" that you would have been sent as part of our "Welcome Pack" email. The final charges will not be exactly the same as the budget. But the budget gives you a working estimate. Don't forget that:

Recording the training program in the shared spreadsheet
...
If you plan and budget are ok and your setup is complete. Start training!
The training should flow as follows:
- Each week you should look at the training program and consider the material to be covered that week
- Readysell is to show you how to access the material and discuss any questions BEFORE you start on each weeks training material
- During the week, note down any low priority questions in the "Queries-Issues" tab on the shared priorities document
- Contact Readysell right away by phone if you can't proceed due to a critical question, feel the project is dropping behind or now working for any other reason
- At some point end of each week there needs to be a training audit by Readysell so we can evaluate your progress
- At a fixed day and time each week there must be a meeting between yourself and Readysell to review progress and plan the next week
If you feel the project plan is not flowing as outlined above, contact Readysell right away so we can help you get back on track.
Contact Readysell at least once a week to review training progress and as queries arise
...
Use the training materials
...
The key points are:
- Actually use the training material!
- Decide which training materials you will use before you start training!
- Don't be put off by the fact that there is a lot of training material
- The training guild includes text and videos. As you work through the videos and test of the training guide, make sure you also open Readysell end enter examples of each procedure at the same time as reviewing the training material. If you and your team decide on a plan that includes self training. Don't try to figure things out from scratch for yourselves. Only by using the training videos, training text and entry of real transactions into Readysell can you succeed in gaining a solid understanding of the system. Some users have tried just playing around with the program or watching the training videos without entering example transactions, this does not work. Make use of all the training materials and enter example transactions.
...
- Actually use the project priorities document!
- On the first tab, the Queries and issues list, record any outstanding queries
- Your business requirements and training plan are recored recorded in the shared document
- The rest of the document records may other aspects of the project
- Make sure you understand how to use the shared document
- Review the shared document with Readysell at your weekly review meeting
