OJT Instruction Skills: Mastering the Demonstration Step

Teaching a new team member requires more than just saying "watch what I do." To ensure deep understanding and independent execution, you need a structured approach to demonstrating tasks. This course guides you through the critical "Demonstration" phase of On-the-Job Training (OJT). You will transition from simply performing a task to systematically breaking it down and presenting it so that juniors can easily grasp and replicate your success. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of the classic 4-step OJT training model with a focus on the demonstration phase. - Learn how to break down complex workflows into clear, digestible steps for beginners. - Practice explaining the "why" behind standard operating procedures to build deeper comprehension. - Apply active listening and observation techniques to gauge learner understanding during demonstrations. - Adapt your teaching style for modern remote or hybrid workplace environments. - Build psychological safety so learners feel comfortable asking questions during the training process. You will start by mastering the fundamental terminology and concepts of workplace instruction. Then, you will read through step-by-step frameworks for structuring demonstrations, analyzing tasks, and delivering clear explanations. This text-based course is designed for managers, team leads, senior colleagues, and anyone responsible for onboarding and training new employees, with no prior teaching experience required.
