Evaluating the impact of training

This practical and informative workshop is designed to save participants from having to ''bone up'' on the subject from scratch. The theory has already been converted into practice by the trainer, who is regularly called upon to develop evaluation tools for clients. By the end of the afternoon you will have the knowledge and confidence to develop your own evaluation methodologies.
This course helps learners to:
