Editor's note
=============

We kick off 2002 with a brand-new resource aimed at tackling one
of the key sticking points for any Training Manager or Provider -
evaluation. From today until Sunday 20 January, you can
experience a free taster showing exactly how this new online
development programme is going to work. To try it now, go to
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/zones/evaluationzone/

On Thursday, there's a chance to chat live with Paul Kearns on
the thorny issue of Return on Investment. Find out if you really
need to be thinking about ROI by logging on from 13:00-13:45 GMT
- more details are at
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/item/66781

We hope you'll enjoy and make use of this new service from
TrainingZONE.
