Standard 3 Design and Delivery

This standard sets out the requirements which ensure that the training service is:

  • Designing and delivering training materials that are fit for purpose and compliant with legislation and local policies
  • Involving subject matter experts in the design of training solutions
  • Ensuring materials are properly managed so that the correct 'users', for example designers, facilitators and learners have access to the correct materials, for example up to date versions
  • Seeking to implement different delivery methods which include but are not limited to:
    • Action learning sets
    • Bite-sized learning
    • Distance learning
    • Digital learning (e Learning, video, audio pod casts)
    • Online learning
    • Mobile learning
    • Self-study resources e.g. books, DVD's pod casts
    • Seminars
    • Face to face classroom training courses
    • Coaching and feedback
    • Mentoring
    • Social networking
    • Providing training that takes into account different learning styles to ensure there is equal access to learning opportunities.

Blended learning

This term refers to a learning solution that incorporates several delivery methods. It is also used to describe learning that mixes various event-based activities, for example a mix of e Learning, face to face elements, and self-paced learning.


Enhancing and supporting face to face training

It is possible to deliver elements of training using different delivery methods, but this very much depends on the intended staff group.

Online learning could be used for clinical systems training, for example, web basics, electronic discharge summary and order communications to allow junior doctors and consultants a greater degree of flexibility as to where and when the learning takes place.
