# Build a user training plan

Training 500 people in 4 weeks at HRIS go-live sounds impossible. With an audience-segmented plan, short formats and well-dosed blended learning, it's totally achievable — and far more effective than a monolithic schedule.

## Audiences to train

| Audience | Recommended duration | Format |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Employee (self-service) | 30 min | E-learning + video tutorial |
| Manager (approvals) | 1h30 | Interactive webinar + workshop |
| HR ops | 1 day | In-person + use cases |
| HR admin / Tenant admin | 2 days | Deep in-person |
| Business ambassadors | 3 days | In-person + train-the-trainer |

## Step-by-step

1. ### Map audiences

   Count exactly how many people per profile. Add 10% buffer.
2. ### Prepare materials

   Illizeo templates + adaptation to your context (terminology, screenshots of your tenant).
3. ### Train ambassadors first

   2-3 weeks before go-live. They become the natural relay.
4. ### Cascade to managers and employees

   Short sessions, multiple slots to fit constraints. Recorded webinars for absentees.
5. ### 4-week hypercare

   Hotline + reinforced HR desk. Capture early issues, create real-time FAQs.

## FAQ

   In-person or remote?

Remote for 80% (effective, scalable). In-person for deep HR and ambassadors.

   And after go-live?

On-demand permanent e-learning modules. Quarterly catch-up sessions.

   Who trains?

Ideally train-the-trainer: Illizeo trains your ambassadors, they train their teams.

   How much?

Per-profile flat fee. Strong savings via train-the-trainer vs direct training.
