Forklift refresher day at Corvallon Freight, a fictional freight company
Training day agenda slide with a duration on each session
A training day agenda slide shows learners the sessions they will work through, how long each takes and what happens in it, so the day feels manageable from the first coffee. This one sets out a forklift refresher day at Corvallon Freight, a fictional freight company, with six sessions and a 30 minute lunch.
What is on the slide
- Title and framing line
- Forklift Refresher Day. Corvallon Freight, six sessions, 5 hours 15 minutes of training plus a 30 minute lunch.
- Sessions 1 to 3
- Rules refresher, 30 min: this year's rule changes and three incidents. Pre start checks, 45 min: find five planted faults. Load charts, 60 min: safe loads at height for each truck.
- Sessions 4 and 5
- Practical drive, 90 min: pick, stack and place with an assessor watching. Pedestrian safety, 60 min: exclusion zones, horn use and eye contact near docks.
- Session 6
- Assessment, 30 min: a 20 question written test, then each person signs the training record.
When this is the right slide
Pick this slide to open a practical training day, when learners need six sessions with a duration and a concrete activity each, and a stated total that matches the day.
What to swap it for
Agenda: Color Bars Six. Use the colour bars layout when the six sessions read better as a top to bottom list of full width bars than as a grid of cards with icons.
What this slide shows
The title reads Forklift Refresher Day, with the framing line Corvallon Freight, six sessions, 5 hours 15 minutes of training plus a 30 minute lunch. Six coloured cards sit in a three by two grid, each with a white icon disc, a heading that includes the duration, and one line. Rules Refresher, 30 min: what changed in site rules this year and the three incidents behind the changes. Pre Start Checks, 45 min: walk around a truck together and find the five faults planted on it. Load Charts, 60 min: read the load chart for each truck and work out safe loads at height. Practical Drive, 90 min: pick, stack and place on the training course with an assessor watching. Pedestrian Safety, 60 min: exclusion zones, horn use and eye contact rules near loading docks. Assessment, 30 min: a 20 question written test, then each person signs the training record. The icons are a book, a magnifier, a weight, a forklift, two people and a clipboard.
When this is the right slide
Use a training day agenda slide at the start of a course day, a refresher or an induction program where learners need to see the sessions and their length before starting. It suits practical training with a mix of theory, hands on work and assessment. It is the wrong slide for a workshop with fixed clock times and outputs, which a timed rail suits better, and the wrong slide for a multi day course, which needs one slide per day. For six sessions shown as coloured bars with a number and a line each, the colour bars layout gives a more linear look that reads from top to bottom. The slide is also useful for supervisors who release staff for the day, because it shows that the refresher is a full working day with an assessment, not an optional talk. Learners who know the day ends with a written test and a signed training record take the earlier sessions more seriously, and the training record links the day to the company's safety system.
How to adapt it
First, add the start time to the framing line for a specific day, such as starting 7:30 am at the main depot, so the slide doubles as joining instructions. Second, change the practical session's line to name the trainer and the training area for sites with more than one course running. Third, make a version for new operators, where load charts and the practical drive get longer and the rules refresher becomes a full introduction, keeping the same six cards so trainers use one structure. When a session's duration changes, update the total in the framing line in the same edit, because learners will notice if the numbers do not add up. Keep the slide with the course materials, so any trainer can run the day with the same structure and timing.
What makes this slide work
Durations are in every heading
Rules Refresher, 30 min. Pre Start Checks, 45 min. Load Charts, 60 min. Practical Drive, 90 min. Pedestrian Safety, 60 min. Assessment, 30 min. Learners see at once that the practical session is the longest, which is what most of them came for.
The total is stated and correct
The framing line says six sessions, 5 hours 15 minutes of training plus a 30 minute lunch, and the six durations add to exactly 315 minutes. A stated total lets the trainer plan the start time and lets learners plan their day.
Each line says what learners will do
Find the five faults planted on a truck, work out safe loads at height, pick, stack and place with an assessor watching, sit a 20 question written test. Active, concrete lines tell experienced operators this is not a day of slides.
Questions people ask
Should a training agenda show durations or clock times?
Durations work best when the start time varies by group or site, as with a refresher run on several days. Clock times work best for a single fixed day. This slide uses durations, totalling 5 hours 15 minutes of training plus lunch, so it can be reused for every refresher without editing.
Why give each training session an icon?
Icons help learners find a session quickly when the trainer refers to it, and they give a practical audience something to recognise without reading. A book for rules, a magnifier for checks, a forklift for the drive. Choose icons that show the activity, not abstract ideas, so they mean something to the people in the room.
Where should the practical session sit in a training day?
In the middle, after the theory it depends on and before people tire. Here the practical drive follows rules, checks and load charts, and comes before lunch would make people sluggish. The assessment goes last so it can test everything covered during the day.
How many sessions fit on a training day slide?
Six, as this grid holds, is a comfortable number for a full day. Fewer than four sessions suggests long blocks that are hard to sustain; more than eight suggests the day is overloaded. If a course has more modules, show the morning and afternoon on separate slides.
Should lunch appear on a training day slide?
Mention it, but it does not need its own card. Here the framing line says 5 hours 15 minutes of training plus a 30 minute lunch, which tells learners the length of the day without giving a card to something that is not training. A morning tea or lunch card suits a timed agenda better.
How do I present a training day agenda to learners?
Show it at the start, read the six sessions, and point out the assessment so nobody is surprised by it. Tell people when lunch falls. Return to the slide between sessions to show progress. Experienced workers on a refresher appreciate knowing the day is planned and will finish on time.

Board meeting agenda slide with a paper number on each item
A board meeting agenda slide lists the items the board will deal with, in order, so directors can follow the meeting and find the right paper for each item. This one is for the 22 April 2027 board meeting of Wyncliffe Aged Care, a fictional residential care provider, with eight items and their paper numbers.
Workshop agenda slide with a time on every session
A workshop agenda slide tells participants what each part of the session is for and exactly when it starts and ends, so they can pace the discussion and plan around the break. This one sets out a half day strategy workshop for the leadership team of Harrowshare, a fictional farm equipment hire marketplace, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Lecture outline slide for a 50 minute statistics class
A lecture outline slide shows students the topics of one class, in order and with the time each gets, so they can follow the structure and know where the lecture is heading. This one outlines week 4 of a fictional introductory statistics course in six numbered cards that add up to 50 minutes.
