Measure the success of any talent development program using a proven evaluation methodology that includes a 5-level evaluation framework. This comprehensive and scalable methodology provides a simple, practical process, guiding principles for standardization, and a sustainable implementation strategy.
Learn the basics of evaluation design, including selecting appropriate strategies and measurement tools, collecting and analyzing data to show the value of investments, and establishing and communicating evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of your learning, development, and human resources initiatives. This evidence may include measures of how participants reacted to, learned from, and applied what they learned and how such evidence impacts targeted organization business goals.
This foundational certificate program—the only program of its kind designed to provide you with a complete understanding of how to measure learning and development programs—offers small group collaboration, application exercises, a running case study, and a toolkit of forms, templates, and other resources for use on the job. As a participant of this course, you will get two free e-books from ATD: Survey Basics and Real World Training Evaluation.

- Develop a solid foundation to measure the success of any talent development program or solution.

"I have already begun to use some of the tools and forms from the class, and a few of them I've shared with the management team who have benefited from using them in their areas as well. I will be attending more certificate classes offered by ATD as I know first-hand how much of a worthwhile investment it is!"
"The most applicable course I’ve ever taken, and after only a month I’ve already begun to make changes in my organization using the techniques I learned."
"This was the most worthwhile course I've attended. Not only was the instructor extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but I was able to take away some quick wins that I could use on day one back at work and ideas that I could incorporate into our processes for successful long term evaluation."
