Human ResourcesMeasuring the Return on Investment of Training Programmes
Too many training budgets are approved on faith and defended with attendance registers rather than evidence of changed performance. This course teaches HR and L&D practitioners a rigorous, practical approach to evaluating training impact using recognised evaluation levels, isolating training effects from other business variables, and expressing outcomes in language finance directors respect. Delegates build a full evaluation plan for one live training initiative from their own organisation.
