Usage

The best times for providing a recap are:

1. At the end of a training session
2. Right before giving a break
3. At the end of a training segment before moving to another topic.

Method

Provide a summary of the most important points that have just been covered.

1. A recap can be done by the trainer himself or herself
2. A recap can be done by eliciting summary points from participants themselves.

Benefit

• Recaps help in absorption and retention of information making concepts sink in.
• Eliciting summary points from participants makes the recap even more interactive and thus more engaging for participants.
