[Trainer-talk] Free Trainer Evaluation Training

[jonathan tyrer]

Cathy

I think it is fantastic that you are sharing this knowledge.  After
finding yur site on Friday, I suggested to my business partner that we
invest in your guide.  Not because we are about to recruit a trainer,
but because we are trainers ourselves and I thought we could apply
your experiences within our own business to improve the quality of the
service we offer.

There are so many people who seem to think teaching blind and
partially sighted people to use IT is a skill that can be picked up in
a couple of weeks.  Anything that helps to improve standards can only
benefit everyone, students and teachers, in the long run.

Thanks.

Jonathan
