| Specific question ``I'm interviewing for a new training job and want to make sure I'm asking for an appropriate salary. Where can I find salary information for people in the learning and training industry?" Marcia's answer: While your experience, region, industry, and subject play a large part in salaries, many publications track training salaries and publish them on-line. Here are a few. - Training Magazine's Salary Survey is published each November and reports on average salaries paid to training professionals including executive and managerial level, instructors and instructional designers. See the 1999 Salary Survey www.trainingsupersite.com/publications/archive/training/1999/911/ 911cv.htm
- T+D Magazine had an article on CLOs, with some salary information, in the February 2000 issue.
- The Training Supersite also now has a simple, free, and useful Salary Calculator web-application specifically for training and training-management salaries. Its calculations are based on regression analysis done on the survey data collected for Training Magazine's annual Salary Survey. The Salary Calculator is located at www.trainingsupersite.com/salary/ The form uses personal criteria such as age, education and experience as well as company stats such as sales, industry and location to calculate training salaries. The calculation detail goes far beyond simple cost-of-living indexes. Thanks to Matt Tews [email protected] for creating and sharing this tool!

- Because more curriculum developers also have to be webmaster�s a salary survey for them can be found from the Institute of Management and Administration www.ioma.com/ioma/wms/index.html.
