Yardi Software Always try the Yardi Software demo first Yardi Implementation Tips: Voyager Training Internet ConnectionAuthor: JS Thomas Some advice about Yardi Voyager software implementation training. What is better "train the trainer" or direct end-user training? Good question. There is not really a better answer. First of all, what is "train the trainer"? This is when the Yardi trainer comes in and trains people within your organization to give them the software product knowledge, and these trainees will go and train the remainder of your organization. This is in opposition to trainers coming in and training directly to everyone in your organization. In the Train the Trainer model, the internal trainers are kind of a middle man in the process. They obtain the software knowledge and then go from there. In order to get more people trained, does it make sense for some of the trainees to listen in by phone? This does not work. Period. The people on the phone will be checking email and working on their regular job tasks. No training will have occurred. You are better off not having them attend by phone at all. If they attend the training by phone, in their mind they will have been trained. There may be a check box marked off by their name, but they will not actually have the required software knowledge. Resist the temptation to save money on training. If you want to cut corners, do so elsewhere. Invest as much money as you can here, have more sessions, not less. Have smaller classes, not bigger. Be smart about this, always keeping in mind that a failed implementation is much more costly than a few extra training classes. What are the pros and cons of having internet connectivity during the training session? There are no pros. There are only cons. If you give people access to the internet, they will surf, they will check email, they will turn on instant messenger, they will check the news, and they will check their stock quotes. You get the idea. If you choose to turn it on, only do so if you need an internet connection for the training session itself. There is no other upside.
