Review
Every new training course designer can benefit from Carliner's 37 Basic Rules. This user-friendly format takes you to the right place with practical, easy-to-use tools, notes, and tips to make course design effective. --Jean Barbazette, President, The Training Clinic

This book does what all good training programs should do--it practices what it preaches. Carliner excels as a teacher of best practices because he writes in a way that enables you to understand and apply key concepts immediately. --Graham Higgins, Manager, Learning & Development Group, Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong

Training Design Basics provides a clear 'back to basics' perspective that both new and experienced training designers will welcome. The step-by-step instructional design process offered by this book will be invaluable to both trainers and non-trainers as they work to build high-quality classroom training. --Ed Cohen, Senior Director, Center for Performance Excellence, Booz Allen Hamilton

5Just started, and it helps already
By M. Johns
I am in the middle of a training design project, and only took a few minutes to look at this book, and it has helped already. Unlike a lot of other material, the information in this book is very clear, short, and to the point. There are a lot of visual aids, and pros and cons are listed frequently, making decision-making very easy.
