A training agreement should define the provider's design, preparation and delivery commitments while keeping workplace outcomes realistic. Attendance can be recorded, but it is not automatic proof of competence. The contract should explain the learning evidence purchased and the employer inputs required for the programme to work.

## Define readiness for delivery

State when the provider supplies the course outline, objectives, trainer details and material requirements. Identify the buyer reviewer and the information needed to approve the design. A course title alone should not be treated as a complete deliverable.

Record learner prerequisites and the environment needed for practice. If software, equipment or venue arrangements are incomplete, the provider should flag the effect before delivery rather than arrive with a session that cannot perform its intended exercises.

## Control trainer and content changes

Name the proposed trainer and agree how a substitute is assessed and approved. Relevant experience should be tied to the subject and learner group. A different instructor should not be assumed equivalent solely because the same centre employs them.

For changed content, identify the effect on objectives, exercises and assessment. Keep the active course version clear and ensure the buyer approves material deviations before they become part of the session.

## Specify learning and completion evidence

Ask what practice learners undertake and how feedback is provided. Define the assessment or completion record included in the service. Keep attendance, provider completion and any external credential distinct, with recognition claims verified through the appropriate source.

For a hypothetical supervisor programme, a participant's presence does not prove that every supervisory task can now be performed competently. The employer needs a proportionate way to observe practice and support application afterward.

## Review exceptions and follow-up

Define how missed sessions, learner-access problems and unresolved questions are handled within the accepted scope. Clarify rescheduling and additional-support charges before an exception occurs. The provider should report issues in a way that helps the employer decide what to do next.

Include final materials and agreed summaries in closeout. Handle learner information and any recordings through the employer's policies and contract rather than assuming unrestricted reuse.

Assess the provider against the responsibilities it controls: relevant design, prepared delivery, suitable practice and agreed records. Longer-term performance depends partly on workplace conditions and management support. A useful SLA preserves that distinction while giving both parties a clear basis for correcting a delivery gap and determining whether the training purchase was completed as agreed.
