EVALUATING TRAINING RESULTS | FEBRUARY 15-16, 2017

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.

TRAIN-THE-TRAINERS WORKSHOP

TRAIN-THE-TRAINERS WORKSHOP: USING INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES

For training to be a strategic tool in an organization, relevant content must be delivered effectively. This often requires tapping the talents of Subject Matter Experts in their respective fields.

However, not all of them have the knowledge skills necessary for effective training. In particular, they may encounter problems in organizing, simplifying, and presenting content. Without these skills, potentially valuable content is not efficiently imparted to learners, minimizing the transfer of knowledge and the return on investment of a training program.

The Train-the-Trainers program provides you with the skillset to sharpen your training and development skills. It is delivered through a hands-on, experience-based learning approach. By learning about the elements of a successful training program, you will be able to organize effective learning activities for your target audience.

Top 10 Training Mistakes

Sets vague objectives.You often see objectives in training programs that begin with “To be able to appreciate…” or “To familiarize learners with…”. At first glance, these may seem clear enough. But fast-forward to the assessment portion of the program. How can you determine whether the learners appreciate the concepts presented? How can you gauge if […]

  • Translate analysis results to design elements
  • Develop measurable learning objectives that support performance
  • Choose assessment methods that align with objectives
  • Identify content based on objectives
  • Select instructional methods
  • Develop a course design

  • Overview of ISD
  • Looking at the Big Picture: Is Training Needed?
  • Understanding the Need through Training Needs Analysis (TNA)
