What should I measure to evaluate my training course?
Training is used to achieve a variety of organizational goals. As such, there is no universal criterion for evaluating training—each instructor or organization must select the criteria that are most relevant to their organizational objectives. Our white paper, "Selecting Criteria for Evaluating Training," can assist you in identifying relevant criteria for evaluating your training. Additionally, our practitioner guide, "Do the Most Satisfied Students Learn the Most?" provides insight into the role that end-of-course satisfaction surveys should play in training evaluation.
