  This book is designed to help both the novice and the experienced trainer write and prepare text that is succinct, effective and memorable. The Kogan Page Practical Trainer Series, published in association with the Institute of Training and Development, is a series of short texts focusing on the needs of the modern trainer. Adopting a lively how to do it approach, each individual title deals with a specific aspect of the training function or trainer skills. Divided into three logical parts to cover all aspects of the trainer's writing needs, the book covers: exercises to help you hone your skills; checklists to act as memory-joggers; examples to illustrate best (and worst!) practice; a reference section spanning everything from copyright to semi-colons.
