Founded in 1993, Training Media Review provides independent reviews of corporate learning products and services:

• Books
• DVDs
• Software and online courses
• Websites (fee based and free)
• Training-related technology such as authoring tools and synchronous training services
• Games, training kits, facilitation aids

TMR reviewers have at least five years experience and reflect the audience they are writing for: they are inside trainers and consultants.

TMR does not charge vendors a fee for a review and does not use reviews as leverage for consulting. We make money through subscriptions, re-publication of our content, and advertising. Advertising does not influence our choice of products to review and has no influence on reviewers.
