Writing learning material in plain language

Are you writing for your learners, or just for the page?

As learning designers, our greatest tool is clear communication. If our writing is dense, our learners switch off. Join us for an interactive session with Colleen Trolove where we’ll be putting our own writing under the microscope.

This isn't just a lecture; it’s a practical kōrero and self-assessment to help you identify your strengths and eliminate the barriers in your prose. Leave with the clarity you need to make your learning materials truly stick.

This is definitely a session you won't want to miss!

When: 7pm, Wednesday 3 June 2026

EVENT đź“…
Communicate Powerfully: Stop Talking. Start Changing

Communication: we all do it, but how many of us have actually mastered it?

Most workplace challenges aren't about the work, they're about the way we talk about it. Join us for a high-energy NZATD webinar where we dive into the four communication styles and how to make them work for you, not against you.

Learn the small shifts in clarity and empathy that change everything about how your team feels heard. It’s practical, relatable, and believe it or not, actually funny. Say goodbye to 'painful' communication and hello to better results.

When: 7pm Wednesday 2 December

EVENT: NZATD is proud to be partnering with NZSAE to support association professionals across Aotearoa.

We know many associations are investing in training that is:
- content-heavy
- presentation-led
- and not delivering the impact (or income) it could

That’s why we’ve co-designed this practical workshop:

Building Training Programmes That Make Money and Deliver Member Value

Together with NZSAE, this session is focused on helping associations:
âś” Create training that members truly value
âś” Design programmes people will pay for
âś” Strengthen both member outcomes and organisational sustainability

This is a hands-on session — you’ll bring a real training idea and work on it during the workshop. Plus, this workshop will be followed by three practical webinars to help you continue developing and refining training that delivers real member value.

Led by award-winning learning designer Maire Smith (Synapsys NZ), you’ll walk away with a reworked programme ready to deliver.

Date: Tuesday 9 June
Time: 9:00am – 1:30pm (includes morning tea & lunch)
Where: In-person workshop in Wellington

If you’re part of an association and responsible for CPD, education, events, or member engagement — we’d love you to join us.
