Overview
This fully revised edition of a highly acclaimed, best-selling book is a jargon-free, hand-holding guide for those new to training, or someone wanting to develop his or her training skills. A comprehensive guide, it covers everything from designing, delivering and evaluating training to advice on training as a career. The book also includes valuable advice for training as a business and going it alone. Complete with a detailed appendix providing useful contact points and Web sites, this practical handbook that proved itself so invaluable in its first two editions is now fully revised and includes information on specialist coaching techniques and the use of blended learning.Synopsis
The role of trainer has evolved in recent years to include internal consultant, learning adviser, facilitator of learning, e-learning designer and workplace coach, and as a result there is now a need for professional trainers to be able to identify their contribution to organizational performance. Now in its fourth edition, Everything You Ever Needed to Know about Training highlights the main stages of identifying, designing, and delivering learning and development programs. It provides key points to help the reader assimilate the concepts quickly and develop individual pathways to learning, and it incorporates new information on areas such as employer branding and how to become an employer of choice. Complete with detailed appendices that include checklists and surveys, evaluation forms, recommended reading and useful website addresses, it is the perfect tool for beginners and those who want to lead in the field of training and development.
