What Is a Training Video?

A training video teaches a skill, process, or topic through recorded instruction that people can watch and review on their own time.

Training Video

A training video is the broad category of video made to teach, covering everything from software skills to compliance to internal processes. It packages instruction so a learner can watch it once, or return to it whenever they need a refresher.

It replaces repeated live sessions for material that stays the same, and works for one learner or a whole group.

For example, you record a training video on a process so anyone can learn it without booking your time.

  2. Script – Break the material into clear steps.
  3. Record – Capture the instruction with screen and voice.
