Both ask countless questions. Both search in earnest for answers. Both are dedicated to reaching the best results. Not so different from today's trainers, are they? Elaine Biech, one of the most highly regarded names in talent development, has set out to identify the perfect blend of content mastery and audience insight. The result is this highly informative book. The Art and Science of Training presents the science for learning and development, but it also emphasizes that training success lies in knowing what to do when things don't go as planned. Discover how top facilitators always put learners first, even when faced with exceptions to the rule—the unwilling learner, the uninformed supervisor, the inappropriate delivery medium, or the unmanageable performance challenge. And learn why you must understand people, not only content, to ensure consistently exceptional learning experiences. Science is both a body of knowledge and a process. Art is the expression of creativity and imagination. Where they intersect is the best way to help others learn and grow. Review: A fresh, practical resource for anyone in the learning profession! - Wow, this is an incredible resource to start the new year! From the moment I picked up The Art and Science of Training it felt unique. I would call it a “how to” guide for training practitioners. Each chapter is titled based on the most relevant learning and development challenges. For example, How can we best transfer of learning to the workplace? (Chapter 9 outlines fresh advice and great activities to implement before, during, and after training.) What are the best ways to prepare in order to foster a positive learning environment? (Chapter 6 is full of tips, along with a fabulous logistics checklist.) What kinds of information do stakeholders want to truly show training was effective? (Chapter 11 -Why Bother with Assessment and Evaluation - is my favorite. It offers simple, powerful questions to ask based on each evaluation level. It also inspired new ideas for me to better articulate ROI and ROE!) I especially love the innovate format of this book. At the end of every chapter, the author highlights “what we know for sure”, “the art part” of each topic, and “art and science questions to ask”, along with additional resources on the specific content. These pieces are perfect for taking a deeper dive and/or challenging my professional development. I highly recommend adding this book to your 2017 “must read” list! Review: A Very Practical Guide to Best Practices in the Training Field - I ordered this book and was pleased to get it right away via Prime - thanks desertcart! I am preparing for an interview for a corporate training role and I found this book to be the perfect "how to" manual covering the latest best practices in the training field. Ms. Biech writes this book from two perspectives - the science of how we learn and the art of making training creative and engaging. She writes in a very practical style making it easy to remember the concepts. I look forward to reading future works showcasing this author's thought leadership. Thank you for sharing your expertise, Ms. Biech. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #278,969 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #225 in Running Meetings & Presentations (Books) #235 in Leadership Training #334 in Business & Organizational Learning | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 151 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art and Science of Training - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91M6BPejsSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fresh, practical resource for anyone in the learning profession! *by J***H on January 9, 2017* Wow, this is an incredible resource to start the new year!

It's dynamite, and worth every penny. I would whole-heartedly recommend it. Whatever you do, don't be fooled by a book that comes up in related purchases - Teach with Style. I made the mistake of buying that. Total waste. The Art and Science of Training blows that, and most of the competition, away, and is far more relevant to trainers. Buy this book. Read it right away. You won't be disappointed. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art and Science of Training - Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Training Evaluation - Telling Ain't Training, 2nd edition: Updated, Expanded, Enhanced --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/39972706-the-art-and-science-of-training](https://www.desertcart.no/products/39972706-the-art-and-science-of-training) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
