About this course
Ashok Sharma asks how an organization can tell whether training has made a useful difference. The course separates the need for training from participants’ reactions, what they learn and whether that learning is applied at work.
A five-step evaluation approach and the responsibilities of HR, managers and leaders organize the discussion. Attention to timing extends beyond the event itself, including follow-up over several months to look for changes that an immediate satisfaction survey cannot establish.

Skills you’ll gain
- Separating training satisfaction from learning and application
- Identifying stakeholders who can contribute evaluation evidence
- Planning measurement before and after a training event
- Relating training outcomes to a wider business question
Twenty-four short lectures in six sections total 41 minutes. Basic familiarity with learning and development is expected. The public syllabus describes before, during and after evaluation, including a three-to-six-month follow-up horizon; that is a measurement period, not the video duration.
The conceptual work can begin with a simple evaluation plan and existing records rather than a paid learning platform. Improvements in a business measure may have several causes, so the course’s impact discussion should prompt investigation rather than an automatic claim that training produced every change.
Frequently asked questions
Is an end-of-course satisfaction form enough?
The syllabus also addresses knowledge, application and business impact, which require different evidence and timing.
Do the lessons take several months?
The video listing is 41 minutes; the longer period concerns following up on training results in practice.
