Proud To Host CSTD Ottawa Chapter

As a member of the Canadian Society for Training and Development for over 10 years, I'm so proud to offer our facilities at The Royal to our local chapter of CSTD for a "Learn@Work Week" event that explores the often challenging realm of evaluation.

I encourage all my colleagues in the region to join us for this event. Here are the details that have been provided by our event organizer, Alan Daly who is a Learning Specialist in the Learning & Development Division, Enforcement Branch of Enforcement Services Directorate at Environment Canada 


 To fully understand how effective a training program was in meeting the requirements for application on the job, an evaluation must be performed. A thorough evaluation can be measured on several different levels and it will involve a variety of factors. In this workshop you will learn about:
•         The different levels of evaluation
•         The selection criteria for different levels of evaluation in a learning project
•         Evaluation instruments and how to select them
•         Management concerns in evaluation and how to address them
This interactive and engaging workshop is geared towards instructional designers, courseware developers, trainers and learning managers who want to learn more about evaluation and how important it is to validating the effectiveness of a training program.

Facilitator: Alan Magnan – Langevin Learning
