Particularly, all the components of a typical training program are presented and analysed (method of funding, logistics, target group, identification and recording of learning needs, learning goals, content of learning, teaching methodologies, assessment of learning and overall assessment of programmes, certification and continuous monitoring -follow up), from the perspective of the instructor. In addition to the above, reference is made to specific examples of planning and organization of vocational education and training programmes in the context of the modern learning organization (how to diagnose and record the learning needs of trainees, identification and ways of opening the learning objectives, content selection, conditions of learning and teaching, implementation of specific instructional methods to increase the efficiency of the educational process e.g. structured experiences -structured experiences, assumptions, role-playing, simulation games, circular work - job rotation).
