The Professional Trainer | Arvon Management Services | Serving Cleveland, Ohio and Beyond

The Professional Trainer is written to help anyone who finds themselves in the role of training in an organization. This includes people who are full-time technical or soft-skills trainers, but also the many who do training now and then, as a part of their larger jobs.

This book can be used as a text for a train-the-trainer program, but also as a personal handbook for anyone who manages or conducts training. The suggestions apply to large or small organizations, and for-profit companies as well as government or social agencies.

Perhaps you don’t need to develop a training program from start to finish. You may be doing just a small part of a lesson or are looking to improve an already existing training program. The Professional Trainer can help you here, as well, since the individual chapters largely stand on their own.
