Which is it?

[Thadeus]

Hello all,
I have a poser for you...

Is it Instructor Lead Training or Instructor Led Training?

I believe it is the latter, but the former makes such a showing on the interwebs, that I was unsure whether this is a cultural gotcha like colour/color.

Thanks,
Thadeus

Hi,
Unless the training is for instructors learning about Lead ( the metal), it is, I believe, Instructor Led Training, that is, a training session led by an Instructor ( who could be a Lead Instructor, like a Lead Worker, but I digress...)

Led

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

Led is the past tense of the verb Lead (pronounced leed)

The training was Instructor Led.
The training will be Instructor Lead.

[Cheers]

Hi,
It is the past and past participle of lead ( leed) ...
The course in the future wil still be 'Instructor led' as far as I can tell, since ( in CorBlimeyLimey's example) the training is what 'will be' - the course is still led by an Instructor - 'instructor led', in this case, being an adjectival phrase modifying the noun 'course' .

But, If CorBlimeyLimey is English, as it appears, maybe it is different over there - after all, Shaw said that England and America are two countries separated by a common language.

Yes, "irregardless" of which side of which pond, if a human is in charge of a class, it is "instructor-led training".

However, when an instructor falls behind in her/his lesson plan, they must learn to get the lead out and lead on in their instructor-led training. <grin>

Lead Zeppelin? Didn't they tour with Deaf Leopard?

Led Zeppelin" - text of the report by the aircraft that preceded a German airship in flight.

"Lead Zeppelin" - depending on the pronounciation, either the first Zeppelin, or a Zeppelin so heavy that it would never get off the ground.

'Deef' is actually West-of-Scotland for deaf as I think upside-down Scott may be able to verify. As in 'are you deef?' when you mishear someone.

I recall explaining to my third grade teacher that she had misspelled "led", and it was supposed to be "lead". She of course showed me the error of my ways by having me look it up in the dictionary.

Whether "instructor-led" is in future or past tense, it's still "led". Passive voice is implied, as in "led by an instructor", and therefore, so is the past participle, which is "led".
