A wonderful guide ... It goes beyond conceptual theory and provides a useful guide that anyone should have this book on their desk." -Loretta Wong, BCom, FCIS, Legal and Administrative Officer, Legal Services, Corporate Finance, British Columbia Securities Commission "... an inside look at the fundamentals of training. The book answers the questions on the how, what and why of training [and] provides the reader with clear examples of how to conduct effective training ... a must-read ... captures every aspect of professional training in the new millennium." -Pamela D.

It provides guidance from founding a training program to augmenting the program, as well as guidance based on the level of expertise and confidence of the trainers. Not only is it useful for bona fide "trainers" but those that have been thrown into the role of trainer by circumstance, the job title or function, or for those that have an avid interest in training." -Erin Mitchell, DVM
