Hi,
I am an MBA in HR with 2+ years of experience as an HR generalist. However, I would like to transition into training and development, specifically soft skills and behavioral training. How can I enter this field when most companies require trainers with previous experience? Additionally, do I need to complete a certification course to become a certified trainer? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

As an HR generalist, you have an idea of training, so that can serve as your experience. Also, there is a course you can do - Certified Training Practice (CTP) offered by the Chartered Institute of Personal Development (CIPD) in the UK. You can visit their website for more info: [www.cipd.co.uk](http://www.cipd.co.uk).

Hi Nandita,
Why is Behavioral Training and Development preferred over the ordinary?
Behavior is at the root of all actions, and the behavior that we notice in people in different situations is nothing but a symptom. From children to adults, employees to employers, students to teachers, trainees to trainers, customers to sellers, all of them display certain behaviors. These behaviors may be positive or negative and invariably result in provoking emotions in either person or quite often both.
Productivity and performance of individuals at all stages in life are outcomes of one's behavior. This behavior is driven by one's attitude. However, the concrete wall-like attitude by itself is a result of glue-like mindsets and die-hard habits. All training and development activities need to directly address the behaviors of people and not just a list of do's and don'ts. This is also the reason why parents, bosses, and teachers often struggle to influence the behaviors of their children, staff, or students. They advise repeatedly, but it often fails to bring about change.
Training and Development have the power to influence individuals' performance through the behavioral route. To enhance people's productivity, organizations, educational institutions, and families invest time, effort, and money. Dealing with people's behavior is essential for achieving faster and predictable outcomes. Behavior is caught, not taught, and may lead to unconscious thoughts and beliefs that are not always positive or healthy for individuals, teams, families, or organizations.
No training can be effective if behaviors are not addressed within the training format, regardless of the topic being covered. Behavioral Training and Development are both an art and a well-established science. Advances in behavioral sciences like Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology have significantly contributed to making training more result-oriented. It can be confidently stated that training provides substantial returns on investment through the behavior pathway.
It is essential to have a solid foundation in behavioral methods for training and development. Behavioral Training of the Trainers helps them understand how to transition to an 'inside-out training' approach to influence participants positively.
Non-behavioral approaches rely heavily on textbook knowledge and tend to be teacher-centered, yielding less positive results. It's crucial to shift to participant-centered approaches where behavior is key for effective training.
Behavioral training is becoming increasingly popular in the field of Training and Development. It emphasizes measurements to track progress and ensure training is tailored to achieve desired outcomes. Pre, during, and post measurements are feasible, offering clarity for those seeking improvement.
Oscar Murphy International offers Behavioral Train the Trainer programs and a practical distance learning diploma in Behavioral Training and Development to enhance professional skills. Behavioral TTT is scheduled in Mumbai in May for four days, from 13th to 16th, 2008, at Hotel Karl Residency, Andheri West. You can register your interest by replying to this email. I look forward to assisting you in becoming a training professional.

My personal experience (on taking up a training profile) has been that if possible, one should experience the trainee side more often to understand where it hurts the most.
Being in an HR Generalist profile will help you understand many such things very easily. You need to observe HOW and WHY people behave the way they do. Behavioral training cannot be generalized for all types of people and applicable at all times. It needs to be custom-framed for each organization, considering the strong influence of the prevailing work culture and habits. To gain that understanding, one needs to spend a stable period in an organization, make observations, translate them into personal learning, step into others' shoes to empathize, identify job demands, recognize needs, and devise solutions accordingly. This solution should then be transformed into a training program that you can deliver because you have experienced the system rather than just copying solutions from the internet.
Summary:
1. Continue gaining experience in your field.
2. Observe behaviors.
3. Analyze HOW and WHY of behaviors.
4. Identify the solution.
Moreover, it is beneficial to obtain certification in training and development. One should also cultivate the skill of delivering training effectively.

Hi Nandita,
For pursuing a career in training & development, you need to have experience. I do agree with Raj that you should attend as much training as you can. Then, try to find out the problems that general employees face. Watch how they work, behave, and react, etc.
Other than that, you can do a diploma course from ISTD (Indian Society for Training & Development) in Delhi. It provides distance courses in Training & Development and has more than 18 centers in India. This is the best government-recognized center for a diploma in training.
If you want to do any course, then don't waste your money on other institutes.

Hi,
To begin, find a mentor and engage in numerous free programs. This is the best way to start. Once you feel confident in your delivery, you can explore various diplomas, especially if your goal is to become a trainer. Avoid investing your time and money in any "train the trainer" programs at the outset. These programs will be more beneficial once you have gained experience in actual training sessions.
