EVALUATION OF TRAINING

Description

The purpose of evaluating training is to assess the worth of our training investments.

Are the participants happy? Are they learning in a cost effective manner? Are the knowledge and skills transferred to the job? Are the desired results achieved?

There are six reasons why we need to evaluate:

• Should the programme be continued?
• How can we improve the programme?
• How can we ensure regulatory compliance?
• How can we maximise training effectiveness?
• How can we align training to strategy?
• How can we demonstrate the value of training?

Together with the SMR USA team, Prof. Don Kirkpatrick, the originator of the Four Level Evaluation framework and Dr. Jim Kirkpatrick, author of the book "Transforming Learning to Behaviour", we provide you with a comprehensive evaluation programme.
