Used as a question to help gauge how would handle a particular classroom based training type of situation, this is an all too real situation that could occur if hired for this position at Fast Enterprises. When rolling out new or updated software to customers, end users can be very experienced and need little training or they can be very new to a system and need extensive training. When paired in a room together, it is best to stick to a set training plan to ensure that everyone receives the same curriculum. Give some ideas of how you think this situation is best handled.

"If confronted with this situation, I think the best way to handle it would be to have an open conversation about everyone's comfortability with the system after a quick introduction. From there, I would look to pair the novice users with the experienced users during the training. This would allow the novice users to learn from me as the trainer and from the more experienced user in watching them work through training modules."

I would first gauge the classroom with a show of hands to know who is confident in their knowledge and those who are not. I would ensure I teach the same curriculum to all students and then pair the novices with the experienced. This way I can prepare them as a team when I am no longer on-site and also use the experienced students' progress as a clearer example while training each pair of students.

This is a solid response, but you may wish to adjust your response slightly to also include how you'd translate this training into a 100 percent virtual setting.

My approach to this situation will be to have an open conversation with the class about their level of comfort with the system. I would then divide the class into groups of 2 or 3, with each group having one experienced person. In this way, the novice users can learn and clear their doubts from the more experienced user. I would ask them to fill a survey/feedback form, to see if this worked for them in the future.

Stephanie's Feedback

This is a great start (and creative thinking for how to best deliver your instruction)! I suggest developing this response a bit more by adding another sentence or two about how you'd determine if your instruction had been successful (a follow-up survey or feedback form, perhaps)?
