# Training presentation template > A training presentation teaches people to do one specific thing in a fixed time. It states its objectives as actions, times every part, shows why the topic matters with the company's own data, teaches a few rules, lets people practice and ends on what to remember. This template has eight slides for a 60-minute session. The example is a phishing refresher, and the same structure fits compliance, product and software training. - Source: https://ai-presentations.com/templates/training-presentation/ - Updated: 21 October 2026 - Language: English - German version: https://ai-presentations.com/de/vorlagen/schulungspraesentation/ For trainers, HR and L&D teams, team leads and subject experts who run internal training for employees, customers or partners. ## Slide by slide ### 1. Title: topic, audience and format A title that names the format, such as 60 minutes with practice, tells people what to expect. It also frames the topic as something they will do, not something they will hear about. - Topic and audience in plain words - Length and format, for example "60 minutes with practice" - Trainer, date and where the slides will be available afterwards ### 2. Objectives: three things people can do afterwards Objectives written as actions give the session a point and give the quiz its questions. "Understand phishing" cannot be checked; "report a message with one click" can. - Three objectives, each starting with a verb you can observe - The ground rules, for example that nothing is graded by name - Why the topic matters to the people in the room ### 3. Agenda with minutes People settle when they see the timing and know where they take part. The minutes also hold the trainer to the plan and show that practice, not slides, gets the largest share. - Five or six parts, with minutes that add up to the session length - The practice part marked, with its share of the time - A break if the session runs longer than 90 minutes ### 4. Where we stand: your own data A trainer's warning is weaker than the company's own numbers. A chart of the last test, audit or incident data explains why the hour matters and gives you a baseline to show again in six months. - One chart from your own records, before and after if you have both - The count behind each percentage, such as 63 of 420 - A takeaway that says what changed and what is left to do ### 5. Core content: a few rules Three to five rules are easier to keep in mind than fifteen, so each rule gets a short name, an example and the action it leads to. - Three to five rules, each with a short name - One concrete example per rule, from your own work - The action each rule leads to, in one sentence ### 6. Practice: decide on real cases People learn by deciding, not by listening. This slide is the answer key to an exercise they do first, and it includes a legitimate case so that nobody leaves distrusting everything. - Five realistic cases from your own company - A verdict for each case and what gives it away - At least one case where the right answer is that nothing is wrong ### 7. Procedure: what to do when it goes wrong This is the step people need under stress. A short numbered procedure is easier to follow than a policy document, and putting reporting before fixing keeps people from hiding a mistake. - Three to five numbered steps, each led by one verb - Who to call, with the number or the channel - A sentence saying that nobody is blamed for reporting ### 8. Wrap-up: remember, measure, follow up Closes the loop. The three things to remember, the next measurable goal and the place to find the material turn a one-off session into a training with a follow-up. - The three things to remember - The next test or review date, and the goal as a number - Where the quiz, the slides and a one-page summary live ## Example deck The example is about Calder Freight Services, an invented company. Every figure in it is invented too. 1. Spot it, report it: a phishing refresher for all staff. A 60-minute session with practice: what phishing looks like, how to check a message and what to do after a click. IT Security · Calder Freight Services · Session on 12 November 2026 2. After this hour you can do three things when a message feels wrong: Spot the four warning signs in a suspicious message before you click anything; Report a message with one click on the Report button, even when you are not sure; Name the four steps after a click: stop, report, change, watch. How this hour works: Short input, then practice. You answer the quiz on your phone, and nothing in this session is graded or recorded by name. 3. Five parts in 60 minutes, with the most time for practice: Welcome and where we stand (5 min); Four warning signs (15 min); Real or fake? Practice with five messages (20 min); After a click: the first minutes (10 min); Quiz and questions (10 min) 4. Clicks fell from 24% to 15% in six months, and reports rose from 11% to 28%. In September, 63 of 420 colleagues clicked the link, 21 entered a password and 118 reported the message. Reporting is now more common than clicking. 5. Check four things before you click: urgency, the ask, the sender and the attachment: Urgency: A deadline or a threat, such as “your account closes today”. The pressure is there to stop you from checking.; The ask: A payment, gift cards, a password or a login you did not start. Real requests rarely arrive this way.; Sender and link: The address or link is one letter off. You see where a link goes when you hover over it with the mouse.; Attachment: An invoice or scan nobody announced, especially a .zip or .html file, or a document that asks you to enable macros. 6. The answers: three fakes, one real message and one to check first: Message, Verdict, Why 7. If you clicked, four steps in the first minutes limit the damage: Stop → Report → Change → Watch 8. When in doubt, report: nobody is blamed for a report. Check four things before you click: urgency, the ask, the sender and the attachment. Press the Report button for anything that feels wrong, even after you clicked. The next test is in March 2027; the goal is under 10% clicks and over 35% reports ## Tips - **Write the quiz first.** Write the quiz questions before the slides. Every slide then teaches an answer, and anything no question needs can go. If you cannot write a question for a slide, the slide is not serving an objective. - **Use your own data and cases.** Your own test results, incident counts and message examples work better than anything from outside, because people recognize them. With no data yet, use a short case from your own work, not a news story. - **Switch activity every 10 to 15 minutes.** Alternate input and practice. In the example, the longest block of input is 15 minutes and practice takes 20 of the 60. If you have to cut, cut input and keep the practice. - **Time every part in a dry run.** Run through it once with a colleague and write down the real minutes. A first version tends to run over, and what gets cut at the end is the practice, so cut input during the dry run instead. - **Say what you will measure.** Name the next test or review and the goal as a number, and report results as totals, never by name. People take part more openly when they know nobody is singled out. ## Common mistakes - Objectives that say "understand" or "be aware of", which no quiz can check - Slides with full paragraphs that the trainer reads aloud while people read ahead - Cutting the practice to save time when the session runs over - Generic examples from the internet instead of cases from your own company - No follow-up: no quiz, no next date and no place to find the material afterwards ## Brief for the AI A complete brief for the AI.

Start from what people should be able to do afterwards and write three objectives as actions. Then plan an agenda that adds up to the session length, show why the topic matters with your own data, teach three to five rules, let people practice on realistic cases and finish with a procedure and a follow-up. That is the eight-slide structure on this page. ### How many slides should a one-hour training have? Plan the minutes first, then the slides. The example has eight slides for 60 minutes: the first four share the opening five minutes, and the practice part takes 20 minutes while people work through the five messages, and the answer slide follows it. Eight to ten slides is a workable range for a session with a lot of practice. A session that needs many more is usually mostly lecture. ### Can ChatGPT make a training presentation? ChatGPT or another AI assistant can draft an outline, the wording of the slides and quiz questions. It does not know your incident data, procedures or tools, so those have to come from you, and its output needs a check. The AI builds an editable PowerPoint from your brief: you describe the topic, audience and length, answer a few questions and approve a page plan. AI makes mistakes, so check every figure before you present. ### Can I use my company's template for training slides? Yes. Upload your company's .pptx and the AI builds the new slides in that design, with its fonts and colors. The slides are ordinary text boxes, shapes and tables. ### Does this structure work for other topics, such as safety or software training? Yes, because it does not depend on the topic. Swap the phishing content for your topic's rules, your own data and your own cases. A software training might use the process slide for a workflow and a table of tasks; a safety training would put its incident numbers on the data slide and show the procedure for an accident. ### Are the numbers in this template real? No. Calder Freight Services and its test results are fictional. The figures agree across the slides: 63 of 420 recipients is 15%, 21 is 5% and 118 is 28%, and the agenda adds up to 60 minutes. That makes the deck a model for your own data. ## Related pages - [Employee onboarding](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/employee-onboarding/): An employee onboarding presentation template with 9 slides: company facts, principles, key people, week one, a 30-60-90 plan, tools and benefits. - [Project kickoff](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/project-kickoff/): Open a project on 9 slides: goal, scope, success measures, timeline, team, ways of working, risks and the next 30 days.
