Jim Hopkins Group - Training Audit

Companies budget annually for the training function
within their organization. Thousands of dollars are paid
in salary, benefits, tools and programs towards the
learning function. Yet, when was the last time the
training function was put under the same microscope as
any other department?

Is training getting a free ride within your organization?

Do you know if your training produces a return on the
annual investment?

What is A Training Audit?

It is a complete evaluation of every function tied to the learning and training of your
employees. The time, energy, investment and resources put in place to deliver
learning and training in an organization is huge. A Training Audit discovers how
well these dollars are being spent

These are the components included in a training audit:

Evaluate Training Plans Against Organizational Strategies and Goals
Evaluate Training Vendor Contracts and Usage of Product

Each item is audited as follows:

Access Current Situation

The above audit findings will be delivered in a written report and it is highly
recommended that an in person debrief with senior management be conducted to
answer specific questions and concerns.
