Good!!!!!

This book is excellent for the trainer. Have tecniques and other things and is easy to read

An exellent book...

I've got this book as a reference for the course I'm taking in school of public health. I got it and I finished it in 3-4 days. An excellent book, very easy to read and follow. Excellent surveys and very usefull points. I highly recommend this book for whoever that thinks (s)he want to become a teacher, a trainer and above all trains the trainer. As a medical resident, I used lessons I've learned from this book and the result was excellent. I'm looking for other books written by the author.

A Must Have for A Trainer's Book Shelf

This is a must read for anyone involved in training from novice to sophisticate. It's a reader-friendly book chock full of information. Karen takes the reader from assessing needs through evaluating training. She covers classroom diversity, group management, difficult training situations, cost/benefit analysis and much, much more! You'll never be bored!

The Trainer's Handbook

This is an excellent and very easy resource to use to teach and learn training. I use it in a senior level college course as a text. It covers the all of the critical topics required to learn how to train effectively.
