The concept of technical training community stresses on the fact, to achieve a common target by working together in a group. These groups chalk out a plan, create promotional materials and manage its logistics to achieve and coordinate public events. In the technical training component one has to focus on the social as well as technical learning. You have to prepare a team, smooth the progress of collective learning and participating in decisions. There are many technical training communities who offer free memberships. In such training, in a community of technical persons, they create an opportunity for a technical participant to become a learner as well as a teacher at the same time. It is actually learning from one another. It is here they decide the guidelines of a project goal, time factor and the work execution. These strategies when combined together form a close and efficient learning community. Online technical training offers a selection of programs to meet the residential programs. These communities train technical people who in turn help others and also offer online class rooms for continuing their education. They provide with amenities for continuing education, executive or staff orientation, developing technical manuals and above all identifying the problem area. To avail such online community technical training you should initially have an internet connection and computer. The technical instructors are aware and provide with interactive training techniques. In the twentieth century with digital technology at hand the primary focus should be on how people can work together with harmony to use technology than to focus only on technology. They are taught how to use technology to identify and communicate problems important to them. This improves the critical analysis skills and thought which helps in bringing the community together. For technical training they also impart free education in computers Hardware and Software technology training courses. In this training they provide study materials, guidance and conduct vocational training. In such kind of technical training communities one can study at leisure and also sit for online examination. In a technical training community the main benefit is the interactive learning process which keeps you engaged in your studies and it is available all the time wherever you are. By this system the learning becomes more effective and thus, knowledge gained.

InterActive Training Incorporated (ITI) is at the forefront of providing a broad range of strategic consulting services to corporations and educational institutions in developing training, technical documentation capabilities and web design for implementing distance learning programs. 

ITI works with organizations interested in developing and implementing internal and customer facing training offerings, E-Learning programs, technical documentation development capabilities and corporate communication departments.

ITI has developed large scale training programs for SAP and Siebel implementations for over 2,000 end users on some projects. We have developed customized training programs for manufacturing corporations, software companies, the US Government, and foreign and multi-national organizations.

Some of our past clients include:

* USAID

* The US Treasury Department

* Time Warner

* ISO

* Fidelity Investments

* Fleet Financial Corp

At ITI we us the Systems Approach to Training (SAT) methodology, a proven results driven method of training an audience that incorporates evaluation and focused course curriculum development for a specific need, expectation and audience.

The Systems Approach to Training (SAT) methodology is a five-phase process that ensures that training accomplishes the following goal:    

* A practical, results-oriented training program that provides people with the skills and knowledge to do their tasks correctly, efficiently, and with confidence. 

Overview

The systematic approach and development model goes by many names; however, Systems Approach to Training has remained the standard. This model takes into consideration audience characteristics, the nature of the knowledge, skills, job, and tasks to be learned, and environmental constraints. 

ISD is a field that takes many of its concepts and principles from various disciplines. For example, as an applied discipline, SAT uses learning theory from psychology to determine how a person learns (learning style) and how to best address their learning need. Instructional theory uses that person’s learning style to determine how to best design instruction.

 The five-phases of the SAT model are:

* Analysis

* Design

* Development

* Implementation

* Evaluation or Control

Metrics may be pictorially represented as a linear model, but the approach involves continuous iterations. Decisions made in one phase affect actions and plans in other phases.

SAT EVALUATION PROCESS



Analysis

An aggressive evaluation process to determine the effectiveness of the training program along with concise customer feedback to ensure that expectations are being met (according to the Training Needs Assessment) is vital for the success of any training program.

Analysis provides a method of responding to changes in human resource requirements, solving job performance problems, and learning from “real world” experience.

In the analysis phase, detailed practical studies are performed to determine what areas require instruction, learner characteristics, the cost effectiveness of a selected delivery system (e.g. Technology Based Training –TBT), and the scope, timeline, and budget of a training project/program. 

These facts are gathered to make informed training development decisions and provides the linkage between the job and the training project/program.

The following types of analysis may be completed: 

* Needs or Performance Analysis

* Audience or Learner Analysis

* Job/Task Analysis       

* Skill/Knowledge (Ability) Analysis      

* Content Analysis

* Learning Analysis

* Instructional Analysis

       

EVALUATION METHOD



* Evaluation

* Analysis

* Design

* Development

* Implementation.

Design

Design uses the performance information collected earlier to help the training project/program take shape.

The information gathered specifies, measurable terms, the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes that training will develop.Learning objectives are developed for groups of related knowledge and skills. 

These written statements of learning outcomes define exactly when, what, and how well the learner must perform during training.Defining how individual tasks are performed focuses training development efforts. 

In addition, the information gathered permits more effective decisions regarding such things as:

            

        * How the learning materials will be

        * Organized and presented

        * Learning activities & instructional strategies

        * Time spent on each topic

        * The use of presentation media

        * How learners will be evaluated

        * Evaluation instruments

Practical measures as well as written/knowledge tests are produced to ensure that learning objectives are achieved and competencies are reliably evaluated.



Development

Development organizes the instructional materials needed for learners to achieve the learning objectives.

Emphasis is on maximizing the use of existing materials and resources. Instructor and

learner activities are defined and these activities describe how the instructor and learners will perform during training to achieve  the learning objectives.

            

Existing, suitable training materials and lesson plans are selected and new ones produced as needed. Resulting training materials are reviewed for technical accuracy, tried out with a group of

learners, and revised as necessary. 

Performance based training materials are the products of this phase.

            

Implementation 

Implementation is the process of putting the training project/program into operation.This finalized training is ready to be delivered to the target audience.

If the training is to be instructor-led or facilitated, instructors are selected and trained usually with a train-the- trainer session. Training is delivered as planned and learner and instructor performance is evaluated.

These evaluations serve two purposes: 

* First, they verify that learners have achieved the learning objectives. 

* Second, learner evaluation results and instructor comments are useful for future program revisions and iterations and follow-up evaluation.

            

Evaluation or Control 

The Evaluation or Control phase ensures trainings continuing ability to produce qualified workers.

A Follow-up evaluation is conducted to get an assessment of how well the training prepared learners to perform their jobs after having been on the job for a selected period of time.

            

Evaluation is the dynamic process of assessing performance, identifying concerns, and initiating corrective actions.

Data sources for evaluation often include:

* Exams or Testing

* Surveys

* Phone or Personal Interviews

* Course evaluation results

* Service or product data

* Observations

Translation Services asked:


Just imagine what an incorrect translation of safety would mean to a technician whose job is to maintain a large machine. Getting technical translation right is not as easy as it may seem. There can be quite number of significant differences in English terminology between seemingly similar fields. In a technical translation, a technical translator must not only possess an excellent command of both the source and target languages, but also an in-depth understanding of the subject matter, its terminology and right way of expressing in a catchy and simple language.

A key to a best technical translation is the consistent use of correct terminology. It plays the role to promote consistency and accuracy in the technical translation. A Technical translator should be much familiar with technical jargon in both languages. A major part of technical translation is technical writing or a good technical translation requires good technical writing. The main challenge a technical translator face during technical translation is that documents are often written with different stylistic conventions in different languages in a given industry or the standard market prevailing in that region. Technical translation is not like translating literature. There are no cultural cues to preserve and no great literary techniques to convert into specific rules. What needs to be preserved is the technical content of the document in the right manner.

The technical translation may involve documents such as technical manuals, Product literatures, Users Guides, installation instructions or Installation manuals, Operating Manuals, system requirement documents, Pre sale and post sale booklets,  patents, service manuals, Maintenance manuals, technical training material, Service manuals,  technical brochures, Engineering specifications, User guides,  CAD drawings,  data sheets, E-Learning,  tender documents, Bill of Materials, Catalogs, Labels, Presentations, Safety Manuals (for print and interactive media), Software and Hardware UI, Training materials, Technical proposals, Website, Other marketing Materials Magazines, periodicals, scientific journals and more.

Technical translation always deals with technical material which runs into pages that are quickly translated and deliver within a few days. Most of the technical translation is written in MS Word. In certain case technical translation is done in other file formats such as Adobe Framemaker, InDesign, XML and just about any other document file format according to the client’s requirements. If your technical translation involves technical drawing and illustrations, it call also be done by the textual call outs and captions.

A technical translator should  use the combination of his/her experience, absolute technical accuracy, language expertise and proven quality procedures to ensure that the technical translations which are produce conform to even the most exacting standards in the industry and the prevailing market standard all over the world. A technical translator should adhere to quality verification procedures that are unusually very stringent. Every technical translation project should be inspected and certified for delivery by a Quality Assurance Agent who delivers an anonymous report to the Senior Tech Project Manager assigned to the project of technical translation. Corrections should be made on-the-fly, and technical translation is always delivered on time and within budget.
