Training Videos
Onboarding new team members can take time, does cost company money and time. Streamlining the training teams tasks can be exponentially increased through video content.
Video is simply a mode of communicating information to a specific audience effectively. An engaging training video condenses all necessary information to an easily digestible format. Different topics should not be included in the same video and never too long. We recommend keeping training videos under 10 minutes each and have seen plenty of useless hour long training videos created by others.
Better to have these created before you need them as they should be created to be evergreen. And with the assistance of AI, we can output multiple videos with minimal filming after one video.
Product Training Videos
Whether for customers, sales reps or team members, product training videos ensure your audience understand the product. Visually guided steps are great reinforcement and improvement to paper manuals.
We've been doing such projects for HoverTech International and other med-device agencies for many years. These types of videos are strongly recommended if you have a complex product to sell. 3-D animation can be utilized as well in replacement or alongside traditional filming.

Although uncommon, these types of videos are unique opportunity to communicate to potential hires they are a perfect fit or not, weeding out potential SPAM applications and increasing application numbers.
Although this DEI video was not originally created to be for hiring, it certainly could be used in that context.

What are Training Videos?
Training videos are designed specifically for education and instructional purposes. These videos are tailored to cater to the unique needs of organizations, businesses, or educational institutions seeking to ensure consistent skills and training in an engaging and effective manner.
Training videos can cover a wide range of topics, such as onboarding new employees, demonstrating software usage, safety protocols, sales techniques, or even complex technical procedures. It is advised to develop a single video for a specific topic, or use interactivity tools to "section" the topics into "chapters" for the specific departments or persons that need to know that specific information.
Training Videos: The Process
Every training video is different and the process may change slightly based on the protocol or industry requirements.
Stage 1 - Discovery:What videos need to be created? Every department needs training videos? Need specific ones repurposed? During this stage, we should set expectations, timelines, and final content to deliver.
Stage 2 - Production:After we iron out details, like training protocols, we smoothly transition into the content production phase. From developing engaging scripts to executing the filming, editing, adding animation, and accommodating multiple rounds of changes, we manage it all with regular updates provided upon request.
Stage 3 - Delivery:The last step in our process is to deliver the final video products to your marketing team or department via Google Drive or Vimeo download.
Our process may vary slightly, but we are ready to help you achieve your goals. Book a call with us to get started.
Why Consider Training Video Services?
Incorporating training videos into your organization's training strategy can bring forth numerous advantages that enhance the learning experience and overall effectiveness of training programs. Here are some compelling reasons to consider utilizing training video services:
1. Enhanced Engagement and Retention:
Training videos offer a captivating and dynamic learning experience that engages the audience and captures their attention. Through a combination of visuals, graphics, animations, and storytelling techniques, training videos make learning more accessible, enjoyable, and memorable. This increased engagement and retention of information can lead to more effective training outcomes.
2. Consistent Delivery of Training Material:
Training videos ensure consistent delivery of training material. Unlike traditional classroom-style training, or even hands-on training, that varies in quality or style with different trainers, training videos provide a standardized training experience. The carefully scripted and produced content ensures that every learner receives the same comprehensive information in a clear and concise manner.
Training videos should not be an outright replacement of training practices, although they can be, but a reinforcement for already established training protocols.
3. Cost-effective and Scalable:
Training videos are cost-effective solutions that allow organizations to deliver training materials to a large number of learners simultaneously. Rather than conducting multiple in-person training sessions or hiring additional trainers, training videos can be distributed online, saving both time and money. Furthermore, these videos can be easily updated or modified as needed, ensuring that the training material remains up-to-date and relevant.
4. Flexibility and Accessibility:
Training videos can be accessed at any time and from any location, making them highly flexible and accessible. Learners can review the content at their own pace, repeat challenging sections, or access the videos from various devices, including laptops, smartphones, or tablets. This flexibility ensures that training is convenient and accommodating to the individual needs of learners.
Conversely, it is possible to limit such access if and when desired. For example, if you have someone who transferred from Customer Service to Sales, the training they need internally will be different. Access can be, depending on how it is deployed, removed or given.
5. Trackable Progress and Assessment:
Many platforms used for training videos provide built-in analytics and tracking features that enable organizations to monitor learners' progress and engagement. This allows trainers or administrators to gather data on completion rates, quiz scores, or viewer engagement, providing valuable insights for assessing the effectiveness of training programs and identifying areas that require further improvement.
Training Video Production: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the purpose of training videos for businesses?
Training videos serve as a visual learning tool designed to educate and train employees within a business organization. They help enhance employee skills, improve productivity, and promote effective communication.
2. Why are training videos important for businesses?
Training videos provide a cost-effective and scalable training solution that can be accessed by employees at any time and from any location. They ensure consistency in the delivery of training content, maximize knowledge retention, and enable companies to train employees remotely or across multiple locations.
We have seen it time and time again. The CEO or business owner hires a team member and trains him themselves. Upon scaling, it becomes harder to maintain. We are all human and make mistakes, forget to convey certain information, had a rough night the night before, etc. Information can slip through the cracks. To ensure proper operational and safety guidelines are met, it is always a good idea to have training videos that, at a minimum, go over key points that cannot be missed. That way, they are either reiterated or absolutely covered. No way a new team member can be unaware of the way to operate machinery, a product, etc. with training videos.
3. What topics can be covered in training videos for businesses?
Training videos can cover a wide range of topics relevant to businesses, including onboarding processes, product demonstrations, software tutorials, safety procedures, sales techniques, customer service skills, and leadership development.
4. How long should training videos be for businesses?
The ideal length of training videos can vary depending on the topic and the specific needs of the business. Generally, videos between 5 to 7 minutes tend to be more effective, as they hold viewers' attention and allow for better retention of information. We could push videos to ~10 minutes each, you want to make the information sizable enough to consume for a more captive audience but not wear down the viewer. Feel free to get your team's feedback on what they are willing to view in length.
5. Are there any copyright concerns with using third-party content in training videos?
Yes, businesses should always obtain proper permissions or licenses when using copyrighted content (e.g., images, music, or video clips) in their training videos. Alternatively, they can use royalty-free or Creative Commons licensed materials to avoid any legal issues.
6. Can businesses track the effectiveness of their training videos?
Yes, tracking the effectiveness of training videos is crucial. Businesses can use analytics tools provided by video hosting platforms to track metrics like views, engagement, completion rates, user feedback, and performance of embedded videos on their website. This data can help businesses identify areas for improvement and optimize their training videos accordingly.
7. How often should businesses update their training videos?
The frequency of updating training videos depends on the nature of the content and any changes in the business processes, policies, or industry regulations. However, it is advisable to review and update training videos periodically to ensure that they remain relevant, accurate, and aligned with the current training needs of the organization.
8. Do businesses need to localize their training videos during production for international audiences?
If businesses have a global workforce or operate in different countries, it is beneficial to localize their training videos. Localization involves adapting the videos to suit the cultural, linguistic, and regional preferences of the target audience. Subtitling or dubbing the videos in different languages, considering local laws and regulations, and addressing cultural nuances can greatly enhance the effectiveness of training for international employees.
9. How do you measure success for training video content?
To measure success for your training videos, look at the engagement numbers like views, traffic, retention, etc. sent to your website or hosting service. Ultimately, your goal is to provide useful content that builds trust and a foundation of "x-y-z" knowledge.
