Reviews / Votes
"This is the revised fifth edition of a well established book and one that remains a solid, worthwhile investment. Every chapter is trustworthy and lucid and has reliable advice on the brass tacks such as understanding the work of Kirkpatrick and auditing training. I was particularly impressed by the range and level of references, which would give any novice a good overview of the history of corporative training and all the big names. A must have for the corporative bookshelf". Training and Coaching Today "This comprehensive book is an excellent read. It cleverly combines theoretical inputs, models and rationales with their application in practice. This was a very worthwhile read - informed, readable and immediately applicable to a wide variety of training situations." Lesley Matile - www-lesleymatile.com "Provides a wide-ranging outline of the main instructional and training concepts, and their relationship to training in practice." Charity Times "This book should be compulsory reading every five years for all those in the training profession." Shropshire StarMore details
