Editor's note
=============
So You Think You Know About Training and Staff Development? We
invite you to try our new 60-second self-assessment exercise.
Just answer five quick questions using our simple scoring system:
Definitely yes (Score 3) Probably (Score 2) Not sure (Score 1)
No (Score 0):
Qu 1: Do you know how your local Learning and Skills Council will
impact on your work?
Qu 2: Do you know how to start delivering your existing training
and coaching and consulting services through an online medium?
Qu 3: Have you used at least three new training techniques in the
past year?
Qu 4: Can you assess the return-on-investment from training?
Qu 5: Have your already completed at least three days of CPD in
2001?
If you scored 8 or less, then you're at serious risk of getting
left behind. The solution? Come to the Training Solutions Show
and the H.O.T. conference at the NEC this week and you'll find
some answers and bring yourself up-to-speed. Your competitors
will be there - make sure you are!
