This is great if your super-users are good at training and conveying concepts to learners. If not, leave this type of training to the experts suggested by your implementation software vendor.

Instructor Led Training (ILT)

Instructor led training typically involves an experienced expert who guides your employees thorough the new processes on your new software. This expert should be prepared to deal the capacity of the software and how it will be used within your company.  Encourage your employees to ask questions related to their jobs so they can be prepared for situations that will occur after the expert leaves.

This type of training can be limiting if updates are released prior to your implementation and it does not allow of real hands on experience. Once you have decided on your type of training, make sure your employees are aware of the importance of this training.
