Are you responsible for creating training programs for your organisation? If so, you know that every training project faces the constraints of time, cost, and quality. Real World Training Design employs the time-tested ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model as a starting point in giving you the tools and knowledge you need to implement your training goals. Separating Real World Training Design from the rest of the training manual pack is its recognition that real-world challenges and opportunities are part of the process of developing every training program. Rather than gloss over the difficulties faced by learning and development professionals, this book explores these issues, and offers creative and pragmatic advice on overcoming these obstacles. Real World Training Design is tremendously valuable for every professional who is involved with the design, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation of personnel development tools.
