What Our Members Say:

"A great resource - one that we continue to use in ITV." Dave Spinks, ITV "I have always found the team at Trainer's Library to be friendly and helpful, a pleasure to deal with." Jacqueline Headland, Bright Reasons "I would like to thank all staff involved with both Trainers Library and Glasstap for an excellent resource, and hope to continue using your services for many years to come Don Roth, Real Life Options "It's a fantastic resource and a great aid when planning training sessions" Sharon Swift, Hammonds "Whenever I use the Trainers Library I find it very user friendly and will find an exercise/training tool that I can use. Thanks." Tory Thornton, Yorkshire Building Society "Trainers' Library provides excellent value for money and a level of customer support that is becoming, sadly, all too rare. It's fantastic - keep up the good work as it's a really useful resource that I come back to time after time." Helen Boardman, Management and Training Consultant "Excellent service. Friendly staff. Excellent materials. Money well spent. Thanks!" Belinda Cawte "Although I have not used your resource much, I love knowing it's there "just in case". Thanks for all you offer and contribute to the world of training and advancement of people!” Susan Carnahan, Carnahan Presents Inc "I have been impressed with the quality of the material in the library. So much so that I would like to make the subscription permanent. What do I need to do to make this happen?" Steve Lavelle, Resolution plc "Just to let you know that having used the site consistently for over a year now, it's the best I have seen so far. The resources are fantastic and so relevant - I like the way it's broken down into modules. It has made my life so much easier, knowing that the time I would spend creating training materials has been taken care of for me by Trainer's Library and Trainer's Market. Your customer service is also excellent and all I can say is keep up the good work! I look forward to even bigger and better things for the site. Thank you Trainer's Library - you are one of a kind." Valerie Brown-Beckford, London Borough of Islington "I love the stuff - great to have ready made materials, no thinking, and they work. I use Goldilocks incessantly. I loved the big exercises too - used Welsh holiday very successfully, with a top team that was fairly well split and not communicating well (Their key learning was when one of them kept pressing the buzzer on the walkie talkie, when they didn't need to - the other team shouted across to her "for ***** sake stop doing that". Not a standard learning highlight, but it did change the team.) I like all the things to do with Performance Management, introducing appraisals, planning, Bringing the Cows Home, Idols (I make sure I tell them before programme, and then change the state by taking people outside before we discuss this), and others too numerous to mention. They always work, and make people think. True experiential learning..." Phil Hawthorn "As a new member of trainers library I keep asking myself why I didn't join before. The time saved in researching a training topic is immeasurable.” Liz MacKay, Sheffield Chamber of Commerce "A very good service which always offers a different "take" on issues. As I generally work alone, the library is a real boost to flagging memory/creativity in the "how would I?.....stage of designing training. Thank you!" Lynne Bell, MHA "This has been a very useful resource when planning training and development events. It's easy to use and the material suits our needs." Alan Wilson "Your staff are very friendly when in contact. Keep posting the new material and doing what you are doing. Thank you." John Rees, Denbighshire County Council "I just want to let you know how impressed I have been with Trainers' Library. Very pleased I finally got round to joining - it's been money well spent!" Mary Maclean, Family Housing Association "This is an excellent resource, and one that is used by everyone in our Learning and Development Team." Daphne Dial, Turning Point "It is extremely good value for money and an excellent resource." Jeff Gibbons, Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, Scotland "I think this site is marvellous. PLEASE don't change your format at all. The icons help to identify what is behind the various links which I think is great. I love the fact that the material can be printed off and used to enhance my training sessions. I shall be delivering a Presentation Skills workshop this month and will definitely be looking to see what I can use. The newsletter is very well executed and informative. I only wish I had more time to spend "surfing" the Library as I'm sure at this stage I've only skimmed the surface. All in all well done to all involved. Keep it up!!!" Caroline Theobald, Lloyds TSB. "I think it is a fantastic resource and is great when you have those blank moments." Cyrus Cooper, Department for Constitutional Affairs

"Like everyone, our budget is tight and I was concerned that this was an investment that might not pay off. I was so wrong; it was the best money that I have spent this year."

As my first year as a member draws to a close I must say how beneficial I have found Trainers' Library. I am a regular visitor to the site and have used a wide variety of modules as the base for my training. What is so good about the modules is that they are up to date and very adaptable. Keep up the good work and thank your team for their support over the last twelve months (I have signed up for more by the way)."

Gary Elton-Shewan, TLL Limited

Judith Still, North Shropshire District Council

"Your materials are great and have saved my skin - thanks!"

Gill Quinn

"A professional and extremely helpful site. I often use it to gain inspiration for training events and team days. The resources give me a springboard to compiling a session- invaluable when time is limited."

Julie Mansfield, Somerset County Council

"What a fantastic trainer resource the Trainer's Library is". I've just registered and already I have found a number of areas that can support me in my work. Thank You :)"

Karen Randle

"I have spent 100's and 100's of hard earned cash on resources in the past, and after only 1.5 weeks of being a member of Trainers' Library, this is my best ever investment. The products together with your customer service are superb, and both have the elusive WOW factor."

Ann Burton

The documentation is very clear, with a variety of topics available."

Ursula Boseley, IFDS Group

“An excellent resource - it's livened up some of our 'tired' training.”

Nigel Whiting, Gray Dawes

"I love the Witches of Glum - used it last week as a listening exercise and it really made people think about the assumptions they make - one person was really cross with herself and said she would always remember it!"

Felicity Bridgewater, Bridgewater Consulting

“I think it's an invaluable resource and I've recommended it to many fellow training professionals - it's very user friendly and excellent value for money.”

Jo Downes, Pentica Ltd

"I really like the service that is offered and would recommend it to others."

Caroline Lewis

"As a Library, the current format is fab. I also like the trainers' forum because it puts me in touch with other trainers."

Lorna Matty, Crown Agents

"I think it's a terrific service you offer, and the website is really great."

Jackie Headland

“I find the library an invaluable source as I am a freelancer and so find it helps me to keep in touch - particularly like the idea of handouts that can be amended so that I can make them specific to the group I will be working with.”

(As a result of customer feedback, Word versions of many handouts are being introduced in 2005)

Deborah Dalley

“Trainers' Library is an excellent resource for training professionals and well worth the yearly fee. I recommend it to people all the time particularly when running train the trainer courses for new trainers.”
