Delivery: Typically performed two to four weeks prior to go-live, this is the point in which you put your participants through the materials you developed. Measurement: Measurement begins during delivery with end knowledge checks, end-of-course assessments, graded exercises, end-of-course surveys and a robust remediation strategy. Although often overlooked, post-training assessments at six or twelve months should also be discussed as a tool to assess long term effectiveness of the skills and behaviors learned.
