I am an In-house trainer in London and I am looking at the possibility of outsourcing the production and management of my training course manuals.
I have 18 or so specific courses that I train and at present we are looking to upgrade to Office and Windows 2000. Therefore for me to reproduce these manuals I would need time I do not have that could be better spent doing something else.
Therefore if anyone could give me contact numbers/websites/ email addresses of organisations that carry out this kind of work I would be very grateful.

Try contacting Training Publications Limited. They are a part of one of the UKs National Training Organisations and so are very familiar with the requirements of training publications (hence their name). An added advantage is that all their profits are covenanted into their parent NTO – a charity dedicated to promoting the training agenda.
The people to speak to are either Phil Farrer (MD) or Roy Court (MD Designate) on 01923 243730
