Editor's note
=============
After a mammoth effort from our technical, production and
editorial teams, a brand new TrainingZONE finally launched late
on Wednesday evening. It's been a massive task, not least
because it's the first major overhaul of the site since it was
started back in Autumn 1997. Every area of the site has been
treated to a brand-new look, and the navigation has been
reorganised to bring the most heavily-used areas to the
forefront. Next Monday, the site will be getting its official
relaunch, when we'll showcase all that's on offer - if you'd
like to be associated with the launch, do get in touch with our
sales team at mailto:sales@trainingzone.co.uk . In the
meantime, the News section below gives a special preview of some
of the new features we've added. We hope you enjoy the new site!
p.s. The TrainingZONE team will be on the move at CIPD Harrogate
next week, but we'd still love to catch up with you. Send us an
e-mail at the address below before Wednesday and we'll be happy
to arrange a meeting.

21 Ways to Deliver Excellent Training
-------------------------------------
If you were going to a training course, what would you like it to
be? Interesting? Fun? Relevant to your work? Something that
will stick in your memory for years to come? What a pity, then,
that most training is dull, says Dick Barton. Here, he offers a
solution in the form of a 24 page file containing a series of 21
instant, practical ideas to liven up your training events.
