Measuring Results from Training

Measuring the return on investment (ROI) of a specific training program can be difficult at best. This often limits an organisation’s knowledge of how and which training programs benefit employees, which leads to poor budgetary planning for future programs.

The PD Training Measuring Results from Training Course provides you with the knowledge and skill development in various learning styles, training evaluation levels and plans, training measurement tools, ROI formulas and assessment of the training. This course helps your organisation identify and measure the tangible and the intangible benefits of training so that you can plan accurately and maximise the return from future training programs.

This high-energy, dynamic training course is available now throughout New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Although we all know that training can have many amasing benefits, sometimes it can be hard to prove those benefits and attach a dollar value to training. Some topics, like sales training or time management, might have direct, tangible benefits. Other topics, like communication or leadership, might have benefits that you can’t put a dollar value on.

In this course, we will learn about the different ways to evaluate training progress, and how to use those results to demonstrate the results that training brings.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
