Consolidation
To
make sure that the TRAINPOST
strategy succeeds , a critical mass of trainers
and
training managers must be formed. To achieve this, all
the TRAINPOST products
of
the three phases are being decentralised to
country or sub - regional level . The
International
Bureau encourages and
supports the regular training
programmes
needed
. As a result, the year 2000
has been substantial progress
towards the
implementation
of all TRAINPOST initiatives
in all UPU working languages and in all
regions.
A
future element in making the TRAINPOST cooperative
network self-sustaining is the
reinforcement
of the inter-country training links that have
begun to develop during
the
first three years. In each sub-region
a forum is
being established that can
exchange
training experience, confirm training needs , and minimize
any duplication of
course
development.
Modern
Modes of Training
Recent
years have seen continuing developments in training
techniques. Two of there
are:
The
fifth phase of TRAINPOST
aims to give trainers the ability to
advise on a
strategy
for introducing these two modes of learning
to their training organization ,
and
to help them design and implement courses, which include
these modes.
Based
on a new TRAINPOST Guide, mediated by CBT
sequences on a CDROM disk,
the
programme employs individual distance learning with
electronic interaction with a
tutor,
followed by participation in a group workshop.
The
CBT part of the course has
been preceded by an assessment of possibilities in
the
developing countries . This has
found in many countries that it is not yet cost
-effective
to adopt synchronous on-line training.
