After working with many hi-tech companies over the years, I’ve noticed a familiar pattern: as businesses grow, they realize that training isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. Whether it’s upskilling employees, educating partners, training customers, or even launching educational initiatives for commercialization, structured learning programs become a priority.
But while the goals may differ, the challenges tend to be the same. Here are three common assumptions companies make about training—and the reality behind them.
Assumption #1: “We have plenty of knowledge and content—so we’re ready to go.”
On the surface, this makes sense. If your company is full of experts, surely creating a training program is just about organizing existing content, right?
Not quite. Knowledge alone doesn’t make an effective learning experience. To truly educate, training needs clear learning objectives, structured instructional design, interactive elements, and assessments to ensure people actually absorb and apply what they learn. Simply put, having knowledge is just the first step—turning it into a meaningful course takes real effort.
Assumption #2: “Our top experts will build a high-quality course.”
It’s easy to assume that if someone is an expert, they’ll naturally be able to create great training. But being knowledgeable and being a great teacher are two very different skills.
Effective training requires more than just expertise—it takes an understanding of how people learn, how to keep them engaged, and how to break down complex concepts into digestible, structured lessons. Without the right instructional approach, even the most brilliant experts can struggle to create training that’s clear, accessible, and impactful.
Assumption #3: “We have recorded training sessions—so we already have an online course.”
Many companies think that past training recordings can simply be repackaged into an online course. While these recordings are valuable, they’re just raw material.
A truly effective online course—especially a self-paced one—needs much more. Interactive elements, structured learning paths, quizzes, hands-on exercises, and engagement strategies all play a role in making the content stick. Without these elements, even the best training videos can fall flat.
