This is not intended to be a comprehensive training course. It's just an easy and inexpensive way to be sure that your new folks have a consistent grounding in concepts that may be new to them. Could you put this together yourself? Sure you could! But for $39, why go to the trouble? We've taken care of one of the many chores on your list.
You only need to buy this once, and are free to copy it within your company whenever you need to (please, it's just $39 -- don't send it to all of your friends at other firms, too).
