The Closed Loop Core Training Process 

In our experience, we have come to realize that the results from evaluations of training effectiveness are only as good as was our initial assessment of what triggered the need for training in the first place.  And, we have also come to know that what seems like a need for training might not always be the case, once a thorough assessment of the trigger for the training request has been completed.

Importantly, multiple methods and higher level evaluation methods are preferred, but cannot always be achieved without predetermining them during the assessment and design stages.  Much the way it works with Shewhart and Deming's PDCA concept, the more effective the assessment, the more effective the design and delivery of the training and the resultant evaluations will be.  Evaluation results inform future assessments and ultimately, the overall quality and effectiveness of any training initiative.

Developed from tried and true practices for effectively managing classroom training, the ASTD Info-Line authored by Nancy Kristiansen describes how to develop a comprehensive Level 1 training evaluation program.
