Small Group Instructor Training Course (SGITC): Volume 2: Training Support Packages

The United States Army is recognized internationally as the standard for complete, efficient and effective adult education. The Army has a tradition of pioneering training systems (including computer-based training) that then transition into the corporate sector. This manual has been continuously tested and updated to successfully educate every member of the modern United States Army. The needs of the instructor, the student, and the Army are perfectly balanced. This is the model all educators should follow when developing and delivering training programs.

This book is Volume 2 of a 2 volume set and provides an example of how training materials should be designed and delivered for any adult education training program, but especially for any industry that is subject to government regulation.
