Steve Truelove has successfully collated and synthesized the best existing knowledge in a succinct and accessible way. He has concentrated on the core techniques which every serious "sharp end" practitioner must master.
The text is organized into five sections which deal with: Identifying Training Needs, Design of Training, Preparing Material, Delivery Skills, Assessment and Evaluation. The approach is highly practical rather than simply theoretical, while ensuring that all the key underlying concepts are clearly introduced.
The sections are carefully integrated but also designed to be easy to access and comprehend individually for a particular area of training. Each section is supported by relevant skill-development activities.
