'This is a well-researched book which illustrates to CIPD students and practitioners alike the depth of knowledge and skill required to design and deliver value-adding training. David Simmonds identifies a range of appropriate concepts from research and draws on his experience to link this to current practice. This should be of particular interest to line managers who are increasingly required to deliver training to their staff. As the book is structured specifically for the PDS standard Designing and Delivering Training, I consider this book to be essential reading for students.'
