Training effectiveness measurement

Show whether training changes knowledge, behaviour and business results, not just participant satisfaction.

Participant satisfaction is not enough to prove the return on training. The real question is whether learning reaches the job and improves performance.

We evaluate training on four levels — reaction, learning, behaviour and results — using pre/post measurement, manager assessments and, where useful, mystery shopping to show the real effect in the field.

Questions this research answers

  • How did participants rate the training?
  • How much did knowledge and skills improve?
  • Did learning change behaviour at work?
  • Did training contribute to business results?
  • How should the programme be improved?

Methods we use

Pre-test and post-test
Participant and manager surveys
Behaviour observation and mystery shopping
In-depth interviews
Four-level evaluation model
