Evaluating Training Results

Evaluating Training Results

The design and delivery of training is a venture on the part of a company in terms of time, effort, and finances. When executed well, it can immensely improve organizational performance. However, when it isn’t, it becomes a mere cost instead of an investment. Despite this, few organizations evaluate training effectiveness, and do so correctly.

The Evaluating Training Results workshop will teach Learning and Development Professionals to appreciate the big picture. The program will teach them a systematic approach that links training and performance. It imparts processes and tools to assess a training program’s contribution at different levels and correct “gut-feel” practices when evaluating outcomes.

● A Brief Overview of Instructional Systems Design (ISD)
● Importance of Evaluation in ISD
● Kirkpatrick’s Training Evaluation Framework
