A Standard,
By T. Bean (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Instructor Excellence: Mastering the Delivery of Training (Jossey-Bass Management) (Hardcover)
I have used this volume to set standards for the instructors in our Corporate Training Division for the past five years. I am ordering more copies for two new employees - one with experience looking for more polish, another a junior trainer needing a baseline for training etiquette. This book is a valuable tool for both individuals, as well as others in between. Great information and ideas!

Teach Your Training Instructors to Excel,
This review is from: Instructor Excellence: Mastering the Delivery of Training (Essential Knowledge Resource) (Hardcover)
Are you sure that the person who is administering training for your organization is truly qualified, confident and thoroughly prepared? Every day, thousands of employees receive sub-par training from instructors with minimal knowledge and experience. That notion should frighten every human resources department head, president or CEO. In this updated version of their classic 1992 work, authors Bob Powers and William J. Rothwell roll out the blueprint for ensuring effective training. They explain in painstaking detail everything instructors need to know and the steps companies should follow to hire the right trainers. The book includes worksheets that are also on an accompanying CD-ROM for ease of use. getAbstract believes this book is very valuable for anyone involved in the training process, especially those who supervise trainers.
