Technical Training designs, delivers, and evaluates instructor-led and virtual training programs that teach employees to use specific systems, software, and IT tools. Distinct from general L&D/soft-skills facilitation and pure instructional-design focuses by its requirement to acquire deep technical domain knowledge of the systems being taught, conduct system utilization and computer training needs assessments, and provide post-training technical support.
