FEATURESTORY format. is reduces reliance on the field trainer and assists with the transference of knowledge from working memory to long-term memory. Roche also standardized the customer training by providing trainers with an onsite training app. Trainers use the app to select the audience, topic and product configuration, which results in customized training for every role. e app guides the trainer on what to cover and what tools should be used for reinforcement. e app is then made available for customers to use when training other technicians. Reinforcing Key Concepts Optimizing the initial learning experience for customers is not enough. An effective customer training curriculum must also support retention. Roche's customer training leverages a mobile flashcard app that helps customers review key information, assess their level of confidence and practice the concepts they need to review the most. e app uses the principles of spaced repetition, which involves providing multiple exposures to content over an extended period of time. e curriculum also incorporates a simulator tool that allows for additional practice and review. Measuring Success Customer Training No customer training curriculum is complete unless it is linked to quantifiable measures of success. Roche is measuring the long-term success of its curriculum based on factors like support hours used, types of calls to the support center compared to past programs, and other factors. Roche also tracks the number of participants who complete the pre-training components. In the end, it is not just the customer who benefits from effective customer training. Sales reps find that effective customer training becomes a competitive advantage. Field trainers are able to deliver consistent training and get up to speed more quickly. And of course, technical support can use the training materials to support their customers and provide them with resources in the lab.
