The 4MAT model of training looks at learning styles - of both the trainer AND the trainee - and takes them both through a four-step model that includes something for every learner.

The steps in the 4MAT system take trainees through all phases of learning, from discovering something new, practicing, applying, and developing a plan to take it into the world.

All types of learners can learn through this model, and it should be a template for any complete training program.
