The best times for providing a recap are:
At the end of a training session
Right before giving a break
At the end of a training segment before moving to another topic.
Provide a summary of the most important points that have just been covered.
A recap can be done by the trainer himself or herself
A recap can be done by eliciting summary points from participants themselves.
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.
