Publisher's Synopsis
The quality of the planning will be instrumental to the ultimate success of any training or development programme, yet as the demands on todayÆs trainers are constantly changing, the pressure to devise effective training, often at short notice, is increasing. - - This book by one of the UK's leading training authors looks in detail at the entire planning process, set very much within todayÆs challenging corporate context. Following the book will enable any trainer to devise a professional training and development programme, by: - - ò identifying and analysing training needs - ò designing and planning a programme to meet them - ò designing and planning the individual sessions within it - ò evaluating success - at the start, during, and at the end of the programme. - - Included are all the considerations a trainer needs to be aware of, ranging from skills assessment and learning styles, to relative benefits of on the job and off the job training, and the value of different types of training formats. Finding time for proper evaluation is crucial too, and Leslie Rae highlights a wide range of options. Also included is a unique index of available training resources. - - This exceptionally practical structured approach will help any trainer to shorten the planning time involved whilst improving the quality of that preparation.
