Fee: $395.00
This practical course will assist you in assessing the learning needs of
your organization and show you how to design an effective training
program, whether it be based on a delivery method that is face-to-face,
e-learning, or blended learning. Rebecca Jones, a recognized leader in adult learning,
introduces you to strategies for making learning for adults interactive and relevant
and will guide you through methods for evaluating and determining the Return on Investment

"Your facilitation was excellent, the resources and handouts very useful
and you provided a great model for us to aspire to. I quite enjoyed the
course, especially your feedback on the assignments and your weekly
insights."
"I would recommend this course to any trainer. When one is working full-time it is nearly impossible
to attend a F2F course on a schedule. I found the content very helpful and I learned a lot that will help
me in my daily work. It's also a great value for a professional course."

benefit of receiving feedback and guidance from the instructor, Maggie
Weaver, who has years of experience working as a solo information
professional and has taught several business courses for librarians.

and with fellow solos.
