About this course
Training and development programs are essential investments in workforce performance, but without proper evaluation, it’s impossible to determine their true value. Measuring Results from Training: Evaluating Impact and Maximizing ROI is a practical and strategic course designed to equip learning and development professionals, HR leaders, and training managers with the tools and knowledge to assess the effectiveness of training initiatives.
Through a structured 9-lesson format, this course explores proven evaluation frameworks—such as Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels—as well as contemporary approaches to capturing and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative training data. Participants will learn how to plan for evaluation from the start, set measurable learning objectives, and collect meaningful data using assessments, surveys, interviews, and performance metrics.
The course goes beyond basic feedback forms to delve into measuring learning transfer, behavioral change, and organizational impact. Participants will also gain hands-on experience calculating training ROI, understanding cost-benefit analysis, and presenting results to various stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
Advanced topics such as longitudinal studies, control groups, and 360-degree feedback are covered to help learners apply robust evaluation methodologies in more complex scenarios. The final module guides participants through creating a customized action plan to implement a results-driven training evaluation strategy in their own organization.
Whether you're launching a new training program or seeking to improve existing efforts, this course will enable you to demonstrate value, improve learning effectiveness, and align training with business goals.
