A Complete Course in Measuring & Maximizing Training ROI

Course Category : Human Capital

A practitioner-level programme that enables L&D leaders to quantify training impact—financial, behavioural, and operational—by building end-to-end evaluation frameworks and maximising ROI through content, delivery, and investment optimisation.
Duration: 10 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Modern organisations demand evidence of training value. This course equips you to architect a complete evaluation system—SMART objectives, rigorous data plans, analytics, KPI alignment, and financial modelling—linking learning outcomes to business results. You will operationalise LMS/HRIS/BI integrations, address measurement pitfalls, and apply cost-optimisation levers to maximise ROI through hands-on cases and ready-to-use toolkits..
