Training assessment without the completion rate as the only success metric.
Most training programs measure attendance and call it success. This template structures completion metrics, knowledge retention testing, and behavior change observation so you know if the program actually closed the skills gap.
For l&d manager teams running training program assessment. No credit card. First run in under a minute.

Opinion
What we cut. And what we kept.
This template is ROI-focused, not attendance-focused. Attendance-focused is why training budgets get cut first.
Cut
- Program assessment that ends when the last session ends.
- Success measured by completion rate and satisfaction scores.
- Knowledge retention assumed if attendance was good.
- Renewal decision based on vibes and calendar availability.
Kept
- Knowledge retention assessment 30 days post-program.
- Behavior change observation against the original skills gap.
- Completion metrics AND retention metrics required before decision.
- L&D Manager approval gate on program continuation or cancellation.

Why teams use this template
Post-training evaluation: completion rates, knowledge retention, behavior change, and ROI against skills gap. When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Training Program Assessment gives you a 5-step process with 1 checkpoint so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by L&D Manager: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Program continuation decision") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. You start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
