Posted on: 1st September 2026

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Prove the business value of L&D with training evaluation methods, including control groups, regression analysis, and ROI calculation.

Description

A training programme with a 4.8 satisfaction score might make everyone feel good, but that number tells you nothing about whether anyone actually works differently or if the business got any value from the investment. This course stood out because it provides a complete framework for designing and evaluating training programmes that starts with a business result and ends with a proof point you can defend to a finance director.

This Course Offers

  • A complete framework for designing training that can be measured: You will learn to use ADDIE, adult learning principles, and business-outcome mapping to design programmes with measurable results from the start.
  • Practical skills in evaluating learning effectiveness: You will run the six-step evaluation process, separate satisfaction from behaviour change, and use control groups and regression analysis to prove real impact.
  • The ability to calculate return on investment for learning: You will learn to calculate the return on your training spend and build a business case that survives questioning from senior management.
  • Knowledge of learning analytics and performance metrics: You will learn to use key driver analysis, employee lifetime value, and turnover analytics to connect training outcomes to broader business results.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It fixes the most common mistake in training: designing for content, not a result. The course emphasizes that evaluation is decided before the programme even starts. You can tell this is designed to stop you from wasting budget on programmes that look good but change nothing.
  2. It teaches rigorous, business-focused evaluation methods. The course goes beyond simple satisfaction surveys to teach you how to use control groups and regression analysis. This statistical rigour is what gives you the credible evidence needed to defend a training budget.
  3. It is incredibly comprehensive and practical. With over 20 hours of content and working materials, the course covers everything from survey design to calculating ROI. It provides the complete toolkit you need to prove the business value of learning.
  4. It is taught by an experienced practitioner. The instructor has built the people system at a unicorn company and has over 1.6 million students. His practical, no-nonsense approach ensures you are learning from real-world experience.

Proving the business value of training is essential for protecting and growing your L&D budget. This course provides the comprehensive, practical framework to do just that, and it is backed by a money-back guarantee if it does not meet your expectations.

Course Eligibility

  • This course is perfect for learning and development specialists who are asked to justify their budget.
  • It is ideal for trainers who currently collect satisfaction scores but no other evidence of impact.
  • The course is also great for people leaders, corporate university heads, consultants, and managers who need to prove the effect of training or decide whether to fund a programme again.

Course Requirements

  • Responsibility for training or the budget behind it is recommended to get the most out of the exercises.
  • No statistics background is required, as regression and other analytical methods are taught from the first step.
  • A spreadsheet and access to your own training and performance data are helpful for applying the techniques.
