This helps trainees learn better by knowing the trainee needs, and can set the training objectives that are right for them. Everyone learns differently and at different speeds, so it is important for you to set your training needs and objective by your own set of context and consideration. It is no point for you to benchmark again your speed of new learning with your co-worker, due to everyone coming with different sets of competency, skill and knowledge before they attend the training program. What matters most is you can measure against your own, before and after performance change, the new skill, knowledge and new competency gain.
