The Training Clinic: How to Design Effective Training Programs (May 17-18)
If all or part of your job requires you to design or present training programs, these two-day workshops are for you. Workshop content is practical and useful in real office, factory, classroom and virtual situations. Although each workshop is based on solid adult learning theory and enough theory is discussed to provide participants with a foundation, these are not "theoretical" or "academic" programs. The course content is, above all, realistic and practical. Register here for this event.
