A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DESIGNING & FACILITATING GREAT TRAINING - BACKED BY LEARNING SCIENCE
You don't need another textbook telling you about how things shuld work in theory. You're a busy practitioner who wants to get things done, and get it right first time.
That's why these e-books are written from a PRACTICAL perspective, although you will learn a little about some of the theory that supports good practice. The aim is to provide you with straightforward guidance that you can dip in and out of, and use as necessary.
They follow logical, step-by-step methods, include checklists and suggest what good looks like at each stage.
