Cardiff, UK 1 June 2011--TrainingCheck.com
is a new website which offers an innovative approach to creating,
delivering and reporting on training evaluations by combining survey
technology with dedicated training evaluation content.
“We developed TrainingCheck.com because we felt that the existing
training evaluation options did not meet the needs of most organisations
and individuals who deliver, manage or purchase training.” said Dominic
Rapley, Managing Director of Training Check Ltd.
“Essentially you had a choice between buying in expensive consultancy
or using a basic survey tool without any guidance as to what makes a
good set of evaluation questions or how to evaluate training well. We
wanted to offer something in between - the core functionality of a
survey tool together with professional training evaluation content and
guidance.”
Ready-Made Training Evaluation Forms
and Question Library - Part of TrainingCheck.com’s approach is to
provide a range of ‘expert’, ready-made evaluation forms (surveys) which
can be used as they are or customised. They range from simple
‘Participant Reaction’ evaluations through to ‘Job Impact’ and ‘Business
Impact’ evaluations aimed at business managers.
These example training evaluation forms are not intended to be
completely prescriptive though, and anyone wanting to create their own
evaluations can do so by using ‘optimised’ questions from an extensive
Question Library or by creating new questions using 16 different
question types, such as multiple-choice, rating, ranking etc.
Return on Investment – Measuring the Return on Investment (ROI) in training
has always been something of a ‘holy grail’ within the world of
training and development, and TrainingCheck.com also offers a solution
for this.
As Dominic Rapley explained, “Measuring training ROI can be
important, and senior managers are often keen to know the bottom-line
impact of training, so we wanted to help our users measure ROI as
effectively as possible. Our ROI Calculator allows you to identify
financial benefits from training and compare these with the costs. It
then automatically creates a report on the ROI percent, cost to benefit
ratio and the ‘payback period’, that is, the time it takes to repay the
investment.”
These features, together with the ability to collect evaluation
feedback by email, on paper or via a web site, mean that
TrainingCheck.com looks well-positioned to meet the growing demand to
move the management and analysis of training evaluations online.
