Does your program evaluation pass the test?

Evaluate the results of training in session (week) five with Melissa Smith, an adult learning expert who teaches trainers how to train with impact (specializing in program design and delivery,) and helps individuals improve self-leadership and interpersonal effectiveness using tools, skills and knowledge of personality differences.


When was the last time we stopped to ask "Was our last program a success?" or "Are our participants applying what they learned and if so, are we achieving desired results?" In this session, we will learn to monitor and evaluate existing training through practical application of the Kirkpatrick four levels of evaluation, use trend analysis to evaluate participant feedback and learn to match tests to learning objectives. 


In today's workplace, being able to demonstrate cost justification for training and show return on dollars invested in training is critical. No worries if you are not sure where to start because we will also learn to measure the value of training using cost benefit analysis that will allow you to present return on investment (ROI).  


Now, back to the question at hand, "Does your program evaluation pass the test?" Total Trainer and Melissa Smith will share how to use a validation tool to identify the transfer of learning to the workplace that you can take back and immediately apply in your learning environment.
