Acclaimed on publication as ‘the most comprehensive British analysis of training philosophies, approaches, methods and their underlying historical context currently available in print’, successive editions of Training Interventions have ensured ‘it remains a definitive text’ on training in the UK. For the seventh edition, the new co-authors have revised and updated the text to take account of the growing emphasis on interactive learning, online learning and other recent developments. The new edition also adopts a more accessible and student friendly approach, with case material, examples, activities and questions to aid student learning.
