The resources in this subcategory will help you create training pre- and post-knowledge tests and good training evaluations. These will help you measure how well your participants are learning, how they might apply their new skills and knowledge in the work place, and how they experienced the training, including suggestions for training improvement.

    Guidelines for creating a pre and post-test for assessing participant learning before and after training. This tool provides suggestions for creating knowledge tests that maximise what you learn about participants. General suggestions fall into several categories, e.g., focusing on primary course objectives and including questions that reflect only material presented in the training. Other categories outline effective ways of writing true/false and multiple-choice questions.
