			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have developed technical training courses for the past 20 years. Too many to count.</p>
<p>What I have learned is training development with technical content for technical people is an art. Most get it wrong.</p>
<p>Technical people, especially those with too many education credentials, tend to be too technical.</p>
<p>The result is needlessly complicated and comprehensive training classes. They try to make the trainee competent after two, three, or five days of training.</p>
<p>The focus should be on giving the trainee confidence. Keep it simple.</p>
<p>Focus on the necessary fundamentals and reinforce the basic principles.</p>
<p>Confidence, not competence, is the recipe for a winning training program.</p>
