Real time Connection between the training and the workplace

In order to enhance on-the-job application of skills and knowledge acquired during a training program, AMC works in line with each participant to develop and implement strategies and techniques prior, during and post the training to facilitate learning transfer in the workplace. We offer a framework of experiential learning to help learners understand their learning strengths as well as potential obstacles to future development.

 
 
 
 
 

Maximize Interactivity and participant engagement

AMC embraces an innovative approach to provide learners with a meaningful training that is both engaging and impactful. As we consider improving the performance of your organization, we design and deliver training that matters. As part of our follow up strategy, we stress on direct supervisor coaching to ensure application and adoption in the workplace.

 
 
 
 
 

Measuring learning impact

AMC believes that measuring learning impact is one of the most critical factors in training and development.Through our learning value chain, we focus on six measurement criteria:

Input
Reaction and planned action: measures the participant satisfaction and captures planned action
Learning: measures the changes in knowledge , skills and attitudes
Application: the changes in on-the-job behavior or action
Business impact: the changes in business impact variables and then we measure the
ROI: compares project benefits to costs.
 

Our Assessment Tools

 

At AMC, we offer you a wide variety of assessment tools that help u plan the right training and development programs for your employees

 
 

The Clifton Strengths Finder assessment

Gallup's Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment is the first step in helping people identify their talents. Clifton StrengthsFinder results give people a way to discuss and develop their unique combination of skills, talents, and knowledge -- also known as strengths.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) instrument

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment provides a powerful framework for building better relationships, driving positive change, harnessing innovation, and achieving excellence. The MBTI assessment makes Carl Jung's theory of psychological type both understandable and highly practical by helping individuals identify their preferences in four areas.

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI®)

The TKI has been the leader in conflict resolution assessment for more than thirty years. This instrument is used by Human Resources (HR) and Organizational Development (OD) consultants as a catalyst to open discussions on difficult issues and facilitate learning about how conflict-handling modes affect personal, group, and organizational dynamics.

 
 

Belbin Team Roles

Belbin is a practical and easy-to-use tool that can be applied to training and business outcomes. The theory has been researched over nine years and is continually validated to ensure that it is perfect for the workplace environment today. Belbin Reports take the theory and convert it into tangible, usable advice and guidance for both organizations and individuals.

Knowledge Assessment

Assess participants' knowledge before and after the session. Pre-test and post-test will be administered for every course. These tests will be corrected between courses and sent to the client for distribution to the participants.

Engagement Level Assessment

The engagement level of the participants is a key enabler to the program impact on the participants allowing the transfer of knowledge, connection of different concepts with the client's business needs. The quality and quantity of the contribution is a key performance indicator and will be covered as part of the individual evaluation report.

 
 

Team Work Assessment

TWA is a series of program activities that involve break out group work and team work. The participants are assessed on their team roles and contribution. Team dynamics will be observed and discussed at different intervals of the program to assure active contributions and role identification of all team members.

E-Profiler

AMC has adopted an e-profiler tool to evaluate the participants' progress throughout its program. This assessment tool has been used and developed and implemented by AMC for major clients in the region.

Coaching Sessions

One to one coaching sessions, usually conducted after 4-6 weeks after each training session (two hour sessions).

Our Quality Assurance System

 
 

AMC's Quality Control Mechanisms
Our quality control program, includes but not limited to, the three following phases

 
 

Phase 1: Preliminary Control

This phase takes place right after the need assessment is completed, where we assign people to make sure that the training manual, material, exercises, cases and other training tools are consistent with the objective of the training program. Moreover, our quality inspectors carefully assess the CVs of trainers assigned for each program to make sure that they have the competencies needed for them. In addition, an orientation session is conducted with each trainer prior to deployment

Phase 2: Concurrent Control

This phase takes place during the program, whereby we assign our experts to go and observe how the session is going. These observers are authorized and qualified to provide daily feedback to AMC Trainers. There may be cases, where the trainer and observer realize that the level of the participants is either higher or lower than expected. In this case, our trainers adjust the materials accordingly


 
 

Phase3: Feedback Control

This phase takes place at the end of each session, AMC management receive feedback from trainers and observers on the performance and quality of delivery. Usually comments raised by participants are also discussed and plans are developed for future adjustments and improvements.

American Management Centre usually conducts a 1-day Learning Assurance Session (LAS) upon the successful completion of a training program. Participants will be invited by AMC to attend a full day with AMC's top consultants where a revision of the whole program will be conducted
