This review is from: How To Survive A Training Assignment: A Practical Guide For The New, Part-time Or Temporary Trainer (Paperback)
This book is a good overview of what is needed to effectively train staff. It covers everything from adult learning to evaluating programs. It doesn't offer depth on any topic, but if someone needs to learn about training quickly and easily than this is an excellent source.
