TWI Workbooks and Training Materials

Looking for a TWI workbook?

Every TWI course we teach comes with the participant workbook, the pocket card and the worksheets your leaders use on the floor the next morning.

They practice the method on their own jobs all week, so the workbook keeps getting used long after we leave.

The six courses

One workbook for every TWI course.

We're certified to teach all six. Most companies start with Job Instruction, then add the rest as their leaders are ready.

JI

Job Instruction

Train a new hire to do the job right, safely and the same way every time, in a fraction of the time.

JR

Job Relations

Handle people problems before they cost you a good employee, and build the trust that keeps them.

AJR

Advanced Job Relations

Take the toughest situations a leader faces and work them to a clear, fair decision.

JM

Job Methods

Improve how the work gets done with the people and equipment you already have.

JS

Job Safety

Spot the hazard in the job before it turns into an injury, and fix it at the source.

PS

TWI Problem Solving

Work a recurring problem down to its cause so the same fire stops coming back.

Why it matters
When a job only lives in one person's hands, it walks out the door the day they do.

Job Instruction gets that know-how out of one head and into every trained hand on the floor.

How Job Instruction works

Four steps your leaders will use for the rest of their career.

Here's the method behind the most popular TWI course. Simple on paper. Your leaders spend the week practicing it out loud until it becomes how they train.

01

Prepare

Put the learner at ease and get them interested in the job.

02

Present

Show the job one important step at a time, with the key points and the reasons behind them.

03

Try out

Let them do it while the leader watches, corrects and asks them to explain it back.

04

Follow up

Check in often, then step back as they prove they've got it.

Why it comes with the class

Can a leader learn TWI from a workbook alone? A little. The method takes hold when they practice it out loud, get coached in the moment and try it on a real job in front of the group. That's why our workbooks go home with the people who take the course.
