Identifying Training Needs and Evaluating Training - Virtual Learning
A successful training function relies heavily on the proper identification of training needs and the evaluation of training. This course aims at converting subjective decisions for choosing training programs to more objective decisions based on proven training methodologies. Such a paradigm shift increases the value of the training department within an organization. In addition, the focus of this course is to build an awareness for evaluation that spans from the most common evaluation forms and assessments to evaluations for skills transfer and return on investment.
