- This innovative and useful resource collection
offers information, advice and activities to trainers
and learners in a comprehensive and practical learning
manner … This resource is packed with a wealth
of information and advice that takes it beyond a self-development
manual and is collectively a subject textbook, a training
course, a session planning and design aid, and an activity
resource. I feel it is of exceptional value in view
of the multiple uses it offers. Training
