1-3 Training Audience ProfileWhat is the total training audience size? This information will be helpful in determining whether the focus and scope of the training curriculum content will address a large and potentially broad cross-section of the organization, or a small specialized group.

What are the organizational roles and responsibilities comprising the training audience? This information will be helpful in determining the day-to-day activities that can be incorporated into various examples and exercises throughout the training curriculum.

What is the general education level of the training audience? This information can help determine the style of language that will be used in the training curriculum. For example, the use of simplistic language will not be effective for a professional audience, while academic language will not be suitable for audiences that are not college-educated.

What is the average length of time the audience has been with the organization? This information will help determine the degree to which the curriculum content must address organizational policies, procedures, and general aspects of the organizational culture.

What is the audience level of familiarity with the subject matter? This information will help determine how much subject-matter background and fundamental information will be required in the curriculum content. This will allow for the presentation of fresh and interesting content for a specific audience.
