Fast Track Training Project Methodology

Oakwood Education's experienced team of instructional designers and training experts can offer companies the use of our own Fast Track Training approach that will ensure the delivery of a solution that exactly matches your business needs. From kick off to evaluation, this proven, six-step approach makes it possible for us to develop and deliver a training solution that will help enable your employees to be more effective and better enabled to run your business.

The methodology is designed to provide a logical, systematic approach to completing related project activities with quality control checkpoints to insure that the project focus is maintained. Each phase is defined by a clear set of activities and deliverables. 

We accept that many companies, organizations and agencies have their own set of methods and procedures for developing training solutions and Oakwood Education consultants are flexible and adaptable to working with such approaches. The Fast Track Training Methodology outlined is to provide an idea of the approach but is not a complete listing of activites, tasks, tools and deliverables.
