Guidelines for Reviewers

TrainingZONE members are welcome to join our Reviewers' Panel to receive information about products, software, services and website to be reviewed. All reviews are published at on our Reviews Page and you are welcome to browse through other examples.

Please send your review as a Microsoft Word file. For convenience, you can attach it to an email addressed to Sarah Fletcher but please also paste your review text into the email as well, in case there are any problems in transfer.

Reviews normally need to be returned within 2 weeks of the item being sent out. Please note that we receive these books and products from suppliers on the condition that they will be reviewed within a short space of time, and that in agreeing to act as a reviewer you accept that condition, so if you are unable to complete a review in time, please return the item. If there is any reason you can't complete the review, or if there is likely to be a delay you will need to let us know.

We're always looking to increase the pool of suitable reviewers, so do tell others who might be interested.

Review format

All reviews should commence with several lines of identifying data -

  • Product, Service or Website name
  • Author (for publications)
  • Name and address of producer / publisher
  • Date of publication (if relevant)
  • ISBN (if relevant)
  • Price (if known)

Thereafter, please create your own personal review. This can be as long or short as you wish though between 300 and 800 words is a good length. We encourage the use of personal styles, reflecting your professional opinion both about the product and the wider field in which it is trying to compete. Please refer to other developments in the field if you think they are relevant. The only warning we issue is to avoid of defamatory or insensitive comments. We aim for a high standard of reviewing based upon the practical, field experience of our team of peer reviewers. In many senses, our reviewers represent the ordinary user.

Your review can be anonymous if you wish but we encourage reviewers to end with their name; if appropriate, you may also add your title/role/company and a reference to your website address. Unless you indicate otherwise, we will not publish your email address.

Please rate the book out of 5 (1 being poor, 5 excellent) in the following categories:

  • Overall

  • Helpfulness

  • Layout
  • Value for money

  • What professional level is it suitable for? (Please indicate whether it would be suitable for the following: Directors, Managers, Consultants, Trainers, and company owners/enrepreneurs)

  • Would you recommend it?
