The Training Clinic carries a carefully selected inventory of training books, trainer tools, training games, interactive training simulations and instructional activities.
If your objective is to create a more active training environment, consider using experiential activities to set a more creative training setting.
Instructional activities or training simulations, such as the "Murder Mystery Card Deck" (a training simulation), involve the learner in a fun, interactive learning experience.
Training games, such as our "Challenge Game...a training board game", help maintain interest while effectively making your learning point.
