Editor's note
=============
The first ever issue of LearningWire was published on 16 January
1998, which means that this week, LearningWire celebrates its 4th
birthday. When issue 1 was published, TrainingZONE itself had
yet to exist! LearningWire now reaches almost 32,000 of you
every week. We hope LearningWire continues to prove of interest
- if you haven't already done so, why not check out some of the
other free newswires we provide?

Making the most of EvaluationZone
---------------------------------
If attending seminars is impractical or unstimulating for you,
one-to-one guidance on a topic may seem infinitely preferable,
but vastly expensive. But what if you could access the services
of an expert whenever you had a problem? If evaluating training
is the issue you're grappling with, advice is now on hand to
guide you over the coming year. Through regular workshops and
discussion forums, evaluation expert Paul Kearns will guide you
through the specific issues your company faces. Whether it's
evaluating soft skills training, building evaluation measures
into a training course, or demonstrating a return on investment,
get the support you need by subscribing now.

Last week's well-attended workshop gave just a small taster of
issues subscribers will be able to explore over the coming
months. The 45 minute session saw some key questions raised - to
