Helpful How-To Guide

I found this book to be well-written and very well-organized. I plan on using many of the structures and frameworks presented because they make good intuitive sense AND provide trainers with clues on what to look for to ensure trainings are working as planned. The ONLY disappointment with the book is that the lessons/examples/exercises it offers feel very old-school. My supervisors are younger, hipper and more sophisticated than the authors realize. I think their ideas, goals and structures make sense - I think they need to match those strengths with current, fun and relevant activites and lectures.

Great help

I have been a trainer of supervisors for 5 years. As part of my training I routinely write or update curriculum. This book has provided a lot of input to my writing and updating as well as given me resources for "off the cuff" modifications that sometimes have to be made during training sessions.
