We know that training can have many benefits; some being direct and tangible, others that are more difficult to quantify. Our Measuring Results From Training workshop provides participants information and tools to support a variety of ways to evaluate training progress, and how to use those results when moving forward. Once the training has been evaluated, curriculum is modified or updated as needed, and the direction of learning or implementation going forward is determined.
