Overview
LeaderGuide Pro is a powerful, multifaceted software tool that runs within Word and interacts robustly with PowerPoint to create consistent, professionally formatted Facilitator Guides and Participant Guides to support Instructor-Led Training (ILT).
LeaderGuide Pro is the only software tool specifically designed to build Instructor-led Training.
Developed by training industry professionals, LeaderGuide Pro addresses the unique challenges typically faced by instructional designers and training program developers when creating Instructor-led Training, including:
- Multiple contributors, all using different styles of writing, organizing and laying out content
- Varying levels of expertise working in Word and PowerPoint, which are typically the base programs used to create this type of training
- Difficulty editing, revising, maintaining and reusing existing materials
- Lack of consistent standards regarding document structure, organization, layout, voice, graphics
- Unrealistic development timeframes and budget
What LeaderGuide Pro Does to Address these Challenges
⭐ Creates two types of instructional guidebooks:
- Facilitator Guide - to serve instructors as a study guide and a delivery roadmap with clear, concise and complete information and directions
- Participant Guide - to support learners with key points, instructional exercises and capture space for notes
