Training of trainers: The IECD harmonizes the practices of its network of trainers

What challenge did you have to take on?

Our teams aim to train/educate our beneficiaries across the fifteen countries in which they are deployed. Our general objective is to provide them with quality training so that they can become responsible actors in their country or find a sustainable job according to the system. To achieve this objective, one of the pillars of implementing IECD training courses is the continuing training of trainers in pedagogy and in new technical and behavioral skills.

How did the mission take place?

We were therefore looking for a solution capable of really increasing the skills of our actors in the field so that they could concretely mobilize their learning. A solution that is also accessible regardless of their geographical location. Didask finally offered us the possibility of digitizing training without compromising on pedagogical quality. The format focused on concrete situations has the advantage of being relevant question our learners on their practices.

What assessment do you draw from this?

Didask's learning format via simulation and Valuation of the error fully corresponds to our training philosophy. Moreover, the methodical framework for instructional design also advances the IECD team of educational engineers. Finally, I have always enjoyed exchanging with our various stakeholders from the framing of the project to its implementation.

An anecdote?

The choice of Didask digital learning solution has been the subject of internal debate. Some colleagues questioned whether it was not better to turn to more flashy solutions, putting more emphasis on videos. The first parties concerned, namely the trainers who were going to be trained and who were part of the selection committee, were however convinced of the educational value of Didask, which is what confirmed the choice of the IECD, to my great satisfaction.
