# Workshop or training programme: which format fits?

Choose a workshop for a focused question with a group. Choose a programme when people need to apply learning between sessions and adjust it through feedback. The decision depends on your objective, starting point and available practice time.

## In brief

- Focus: Workshop or training programme: which format fits?
- Approach: A defined task and a human review
- Next step: Scope the work before choosing a format

| Criterion | Workshop | Programme |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Objective | A focused question or use case | Establishing a method |
| Practice | During the session | During and between sessions |
| Feedback | A documented first attempt | Adjustments based on attempts |
| Preparation | A representative task | An objective and practice time |

## When does a workshop fit?

A workshop suits a bounded objective: understanding the basics, testing a use case or aligning a leadership team. Prepare an example task and an intended result. Leave time for practice and checking.

At the end, decide what will be tested at work and who will own it. That decision gives the exercise somewhere to go next.

## When should you choose a programme?

A programme supports a method over time. Participants practise between meetings, then bring questions and results back. The next session can address difficulties they have encountered.

Put practice time in the calendar. A series of meetings without application between them does not provide the same feedback.

## How can your team decide?

Clarify what should change after learning. If the need is still vague, a scoping conversation can identify a representative task before the programme is set.

WeGoTo formats and durations are proposed starting points. The proposal will confirm schedule, audience, working documents and delivery conditions.

## A few useful answers.

## FAQ

### Can we start with a workshop and continue?

That is one design option. Further work should respond to observed needs and be covered by a proposal.

### Is a programme always more advanced?

Duration and level are separate questions. A programme can reinforce fundamentals, while a workshop can address a specialist topic.

### What should we prepare for first contact?

Describe the audience, experience, approved tools, a task and the result you want.

### How can we compare formats?

Compare the objective, practice, feedback opportunities and team availability. Price alone cannot compare different formats.
