A Very Helpful Handbook

This book would be good for someone, who needs guidance in the process of developing an effective training session. The authors' Shelila W. Furjanic and Laurie A. Trotman separated this training handbook into two parts. Part one focuses on the training process and part two on the LEARN process. In each part, it has many examples and samples to use as a guide, when developing a training session. It also provides valuable information that is a good reference, for a new trainer. Overall, this book is an excellent guide to anyone who is interested in developing a training program. It covers everything that a person needs to know, about the training process in one book. I have learned so much from reading this, that I am sure that it is going to be a very good reference for me in my future, career endeavors. This is more than a book; it is a handbook, in which I would recommend to anybody who is new to the training process.

Fabulous Resource

This book is a fabulous resource for anyone involved in organization training. The authors have delineated the process by which training becomes real learning and provide scads of creative activities and materials for the trainer to use. It can become the most-used book in a trainer's library.
