Spend on learning and development is rightly put under scrutiny. As with any costs for a business we should take a look at it and see whether it delivers value for the money we spend. This short training evaluation document aims to provide some perspectives on this challenging topic.

In this training evaluation document we will consider the following areas and will conclude with a few perspectives.

1. Reaction - did people enjoy the learning and feel it was professional and a valuable use of time?

2. Learning - did they learn anything?

3. Behaviour change - did they do anything differently as a result of attending?

4. Business relevant - was the learning relevant to the organisation? Did it help achieve organisation priorities?

5. Results - can we measure the results of the learning?
