The Training Show

Are you a Trainer or a Training Manager? Do you have responsibility for implementing training? Or maybe you simply aspire to be part of the exciting world of training.

If you’re involved in or would like to be involved in training then The Training Show is for you!

The Training Show is the show for Learning Professionals Everywhere. Through the show, website and webinars, we focus on all facets of training. The show aims to provide help and practical advice on a range of topics to people involved in training and learning.

The Training Show is presented by Elaine Giles and Mike Thomas, two experienced IT Trainers from the UK.
