Book description
Millions of Americans have to train others as part of their jobs.
Whether you're an employee training your co-workers on a new process or
skill, a volunteer asked to train new volunteers, a chef training your
staff, or a paramedic giving CPR training, it's just as important to
know how to teach others as it is to know what you're talking about. It
doesn't matter how much you know about your subject if you can't share
it with others.
Fortunately, Training For Dummies offers all the nuts and
bolts of training for anyone who has to educate others on any subject
and in any field. It covers all the modern, interactive instructional
methods and dynamic training approaches available and helps you get
trainees inspired, involved, and enthused. Training For Dummies
will help you:
- Keep it interesting so trainees learn more eagerly
- Master the jargon of training
- Use audio and visual aids effectively
- Prepare for the training certification process
- Evaluate your results and improve your tactics
