The Workplace Tutor: Professional Training In the Modern Workplace by Patrick Coughlan is designed for anyone who has to deliver training in the modern workplace. The workplace could be a commercial business, a government agency or a community organisation. The Tutor could be someone who is employed in the Training Department of the organisation or a skilled employee who is required to deliver training in his or her skills or an employee of a training company contracted to deliver training within the workplace. It is a practical book referring to theory only where necessary, but placing the role of training within the historical developments that have taken place over the last 300 years.
