All editable material comes in two formats:

• doc/ppt/xls format used in Office 2003 
• docx/pptx/xlsx format used in Office 2007 and future versions

When you order training materials from us, the collection of files that you receive contain both versions in separate folders. The course materials are designed using Office 365. The latest version released is Office 2016. The files are backward and forward compatible with Office 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016. They are converted to Office 2003 for those who prefer to use this version instead. Documents are in MS Word, slides are in MS PowerPoint and with some courses MS Excel files are frovided as extra content or handouts. 

If you are interested in editing our training materials, you can use any of the available versions such as Office 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016. If you are using Office 2010 or later versions, you can take advantage of all the editing functionality that the software provides to modify the content. Using Office 2010 or later is not a requirement and you can use other previous versions to edit the content as well.

Microsoft released a software update for those who use Office 2003, so they can also edit image compositions made using "Smart Art" in Office 2003 without the need for later versions. If you are using Office 2003, you are advised to use a free upgrade from Microsoft to view MS 2007 files with MS 2003  which allows you to edit the content more efficiently.

Certainly. You receive unlocked source files such as Word and Power Point that you may use to edit or even export to any other format of your choice. Our intention is to make it easy for you to use the content and we believe the more accessible the digital content, the easier it is to use it.

Yes you can. You receive the Training Materials in editable form and the generous license allows you edit the content as you wish. However, you are not allowed to sell the combined training material directly to other trainers or training organisations who would then use it to deliver the training.

Absolutely! We have a variety of courses in the pipeline and they will be made available on a regular basis. Please check back or signup to our mailing list and receive product updates.

Yes. We provide samples of slides, workbooks and trainer notes for each course. See each corresponding course for details.

In addition, we also offer fully usable sample courses for your evaluation. See the page on how to download free training resources for more details. 

Yes indeed. We have many big brand multinational companies that buy our entire catalogue. We design our training materials with the following specific needs in mind:

• Designed to address common problems in business environments. They are designed for a variety of business environments to address common workplace issues founds in most companies. These are based on the latest research on management, psychology and productivity.
• You can edit our training materials. Large organisations usually have a dedicated training department that caters for their staff training. They usually desire to provide tailored training based on their specific market, staff skill set and common issues identified in their organisation. To accommodate this need, we provide fully editable training materials. You can easily edit and customise our training materials to tailor them to your specific needs.
• Our full catalogue contains the most commonly needed subjects that you may require. As a large organisation, you will need to address a variety of topics from management, to interpersonal skills, to customer services, sales, etc. Our full catalogue covers all of the important topics that you would require and so as a set of courses will give you access to a large amount of training content that would matter most. This means you don't have to pay for obscure subjects that you would never need. We always focus on designing courses on training subjects that are most important to address and that would provide the highest return on investment to a company.
• You can mix and match. We design our courses in a way so that you can easily mix and match topics across courses to create new custom courses.

Despite the high quality of our training materials, the flexibility and the care that goes into designing them, we offer them at incredibly affordable prices. In addition, to purchase the entire catalogue, we can offer you 50% discount. You can purchase the training materials directly from our site using credit/debit cards or we can invoice you and you can then pay by bank to bank transfer. 

We think obtaining training materials is all about saving time. If you have to go through a myriad of locks to access the content or simply receive a few slides and no comprehensive detail on how to run the course, then you have to spend your own precious time to make the course deliverable. We believe this defies the point of purchasing training materials and you might be better off making your own course from scratch.

This is why we think obtaining cheap or low quality training materials would not help any customers who seriously want to grab a course and quickly prepare to meet the demands of the market. It would be simply a waste of money as you have to spend time improving the content yourself. Instead, we believe in quality at affordable prices. We think very hard to make sure that a customer can quickly prepare to deliver a course within days of purchasing the material by going through detailed instructions on how to run the course, how to pace it and to deliver in such a way to leave a positive impact on delegates.

This is our passion and we are constantly using your feedback combined with our experience to improve the design of our training materials so you can spend a minimum amount of time to prepare for them. Find out more about our training materials design process.

All courses contain a number of well-defined sessions. Each session has a specific objective, theory and appropriated exercises to make sure delegates learn the skills during the course. You can easily deliver a course over multiple days by selecting a sub-set of the sessions included in the course. Since the courses comes in an editable format, this is extremely easy to setup based on your needs and delegates.

We offer one of the most generous licenses in the market. We own the content, but we license you to its specific use which means you can add your own logo and brand the content based on your own organisation’s policies.

There are many. If we were to prioritise, here is the list:

• Teaching in a way that makes people feel they had the best trainer

No. The course starts by focusing on fundamentals such as facilitation training as we believe any trainer should know about them. In many areas the online course expands on the train the trainer book with original content and is much more interactive much like what you experience in an instructor-led course. Topics such as how to structure a course, how to start a course following a systemic formula, how to establish credibility, learning styles, engagement sequence, body language and many others are all new content not present in the book and are designed specifically for this course.  

In contrast, the book focuses on topics that are more suitable to be read in a book, such as various research and studies or theoretical aspects of why training should be done in a certain way. We aimed to use the online medium for what is good at, being interactive and more visual. In addition, we revisited each training topic that a trainer must be skilled at and analysed it to see how best it could be presented in an online course, irrespective of what is stated in the book.

The online course is designed with exercises, discussions and repetition at its core with an aim to help you learn, remember and apply the content.

If you are interested to learn about how to design courses based on how people learn, neuroscience, cognitive psychology and the practical art of running courses, consider our instructional design book.

You can go through the online course at your own pace. It covers a similar amount of content to a 2-Day instructor-led course if you were to attend one in person. There are many exercises, discussion opportunities and quizzes, so it depends how quickly or slowly you go through the course.

When you order online, an email receipt is automatically generated and sent to your email. For anything else please contact support.

For example, you can discuss presentation skills, handling questions, understanding learning styles, how to keep delegates engaged and so on. This can be for instructor-led training, online training, live virtual and the like.

The coaching package comes with two one-hour sessions as well as evaluations and e-mail support outside coaching sessions to help support you in your progress.
