  This revised and updated edition takes account of the growing emphasis on learner-centred activity and continuous development and of the recent innovations in technology-based learning. With its combination of exercises, case studies and suggestions for further reflection and discussion, it also offers useful material for self-development. The authors set the scene with a critical review of the national framework, and examine the changing attitudes to education, the main theories of learning and the organization as a learning system. There follows detailed, practical discussion of needs assessment, planning, implementing and evaluating training. All these themes are brought together suited to Institute of Personnel and Development studies, and should also play its part in far wider initiatives to improve the quality of British training.
