I am new to our training dept so I can assure you others have better examples, but the one that I have come across already is just the different learning styles. Verbal, Nonverbal, Hands-on, and auditory. I try to incorporate all 4 into my training, if I notice one works better than the others for that particular person or persons, then I try to focus on that more, but most times it isn't noticeable.

Also their ability or rather openness to learn is a huge problem, if they dont feel it is worth their time or they dont think they really need the training, they will not listen and most definitely will not learn. Make sure you point out how this particular training will not only help their job, but help them as an individual.

something that I just found that goes along with what I was talking about:

the above link is a test that will rate your own learning style, and then describes each one. Just thought it might be helpful.
