The
Trainer's Journey
To Competence: Tools,
Assessments and Models
by Jean Barbazette
|
|
The
Trainer’s Journey to Competence draws on Jean Barbazette’s
thirty-five years of experience in training trainers. The book
serves as both a useful source of career advice for
those in the training field, and as a starting point for
creating a role-specific professional development plan. Professional
trainers can use this resource to assess their knowledge,
skills, and attitudes and use this information to create an
individual development plan. The book can be equally helpful
when creating internal training certification programs for
organizations.
The Trainer’s Journey to Competence
is filled with numerous assessment tools for benchmarking
current competencies and identifying gaps in knowledge and core
skills. The book also includes a companion CD-Rom that is filled
with checklists, tools, forms and templates that can be easily
customized to address particular situations.
The
Trainer’s Journey to Competence
is the first volume in The
Skilled Trainer series which provides practical guidance
trainers, course designers, training managers, and training
coordinators who want to take their career to the next
level.
