Training Impact Assessment
Training in industrial settings has two main goals: to change the learner’s attitude, knowledge and skills, and to produce changes in the company as a result of the changes in the learner’s attitude, knowledge and skills.

Training Impact Assessment (TIA) is a tool that gathers and organizes information so that sound conclusions can be drawn and decisions can be made about what needs to be done in the workplace to enhance the impact of the training on day-to-day work behaviour and attitudes. The TIA process uses personal interviews and questionnaires to determine whether training is having the desired effect. TIA is also a valuable way to assess the state of the health and safety culture in your workplace.

TIA will help you do the following:
  • Provide indicators of knowledge, skill and attitude transfer from the classroom to the workplace
  • Provide vital information that can be used to identify positive outcomes of training in the workplace
  • Improve training design and delivery
  • Implement workplace practices that will enhance the impact of training

The TIA process has been designed so that specially trained assessors within firms can administer it themselves, but we will provide consultation and advice to help firms tailor the process to their specific needs.
