Tools for Trainers was prepared by the Joint STAPPA/ALAPCO/EPA Training 

Committee. The Work Group, which reviewed and commented on the project, was 

chaired by Mary Boyer (California Air Resources Board) who is also STAPPA Chair of 

the Joint Training Committee. Members of the Work Group included Tom Allen 

(NESCAUM), Bob Hague (Rutgers/EOHSI), Rick St. Louis (State of Pennsylvania), Ron 

Townsend (U.S EPA), and Susan Wierman (MARAMA). Bill Becker and Gail 

Lewkowicz of STAPPA/ALAPCO provided assistance and input. Many state and local 

agencies furnished materials which are duplicated in Tools for Trainers; the Texas 

Natural Resource Conservation Commission was generous in sharing its extensive 

work on staff development plans. Joel Ann Todd of The Scientific Consulting Group, 

Inc. provided assistance in assembling Tools for Trainers, with funding from the 

Education and Outreach Group, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 
Tools for Trainers 

What is Tools for Trainers? 

Tools for Trainers is a notebook that contains information on many of 

the tasks that trainers and training coordinators must perform, such 

as how to design and conduct a needs assessment, how to evaluate 

training programs, and how to develop a training curriculum for 

agency staff. In addition to this "how to" information, there are 

examples of materials that have been developed and used by state 

agencies, local agencies, and EPA. These materials can be adapted 

for use in your agency. Tools for Trainers also contains up-to-date 

information on training providers. 

The notebook is organized into four sections. Each section contains 

an introduction to that section's topic and e~amples of materials that 

can be used or adapted. There is a brief description of each 

example to make it easier for users to find the materials that are 

most likely to be relevant. 

Who Will Find Tools for Trainers Useful? 

Tools for Trainers is designed for training coordinators and others in 

state or local agencies who have responsibility for planning, 

conducting, and evaluating training programs. It will be particularly 

useful for those who are new to their jobs or who have never 

performed some of these tasks before, such as conducting a needs 

assessment or an evaluation.

Training Needs Assessment Resources 

Overview of Needs Assessment ............................................ Page Al 

STAPPA/ALAPCO FY1998 Training Needs Assessment Survey ................ Page AS 

This is the most recent version of the annual ST APP Al ALAPCO training needs 

assessment survey. It is intended to identify future trends in air pollution training needs 

and gaps in current training from a state and local perspective. It gathers information on 

the needs of the agency as a whole. 

Air Compliance Inspector Basic Training Program Questionnaire . . . . . . . . . ... Page Al 7 

This form is intended to gather information on the needs of the agency as a whole. It was 

developed for the Ohio Regional Air Pollution Control Agency in preparation for 

delivery of the CARB 100 series, to further characterize the need for basic training and to 

obtain information on more intermediate or advanced training needs for the future. 

Training Needs Questionnaire ........................................... Page A23 

This one-page questionnaire was developed for the Michigan Department of Natural 

Resources, Air Quality Division. It was designed for staff who had already attended 

basic training, to learn about their needs for intermediate or advanced training and 

training in areas not covered by the basic course. 

Training Needs Assessment Methodology and Instruments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page A27 

This material was developed for the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission 

in 1994 and was used to conduct a needs assessment for TNRCC air program staff. It 

includes approaches and data collection instruments for managers, staff, and industry on 

the training needs of individual staff members and groups within an agency. 

Draft Needs Assessment for Personnel in Mexico ............................ Page A53 

This needs assessment package was adapted from the TNRCC materials. It was designed 

to be implemented by staff from the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Mexico. 

The draft materials are in English. It is designed to gather information on the needs of 

individual staff members and groups within an agency. 

Participant Profile ..................................................... Page.A71 

This form was developed to obtain information on course participants, specifically their 

level of knowledge of the subject matter coming into the course. This assisted the

instructors in tailoring their presentations to the appropriate level for the trainees and was 

used to assign participants to small work groups for course exercises.

Needs Assessment 

Why Conduct a Needs Assessment? 

Every training project should begin with some form of needs assessment. Sometimes this 

assessment is very informal, involving a discussion with the supervisor of the training 

participants or the potential participants themselves. In other cases, it is more formal, involving 

a survey of potential trainees or a job analysis. The needs assessment plays a vital role in 

focusing the training on the most important topics and providing the training on the appropriate 

level-in short, getting the most value for the resources invested. 

Training needs assessments provide valuable information to training providers, enabling them to 

develop and offer the courses that will be most useful to agency staff. ST APP A and ALAPCO 

conduct a training needs assessment survey each year to assist training providers in planning 

their programs - if your agency conducts its own internal needs assessment in preparation for 

this survey, you will be able to report more accurately the types of training that you will need. 

In conducting a needs assessment, it is important to differentiate between training "needs" and 

training "wants" so that scarce resources can be allocated most effectively. It is also important to 

probe expressions of training needs to get past symptoms of problems to the problem itself. 

Finally, it is important to separate those problems or issues that can be addressed by training 

from those that cannot be addressed by training and that are, in fact, management or resource 

issues. 

How Can Training Needs be Identified? 

Some training needs can be readily identified. Training needs can arise from many events or 

conditions, such as: 

ti' changes in regulations 

ti' installation of new equipment 

ti' new procedures or modifications of existing procedures 

ti' hiring of new staff or creation of new job positions. 

For example, all new regulations require some staff training; in fact, ST APP A and ALAPCO 

sent a letter to EPA requesting that all new regulations be accompanied by appropriate training at 

the time of promulgation. 

Training needs can also be identified from problems that have arisen. If staff are unable to 

complete their assigned workload or if work products contain errors, there might be a need for 

training. 

Training can also be a morale-builder in an organizations, a way that the organization can 

indicate to its employees that they are valued.

Tools/or Trainers (January 1998) 

One approach to assessing training needs is a discussion within the sponsoring agency or 

organization, including supervisors of the potential trainees and the trainees themselves. This 

discussion should explore issues such as objectives for the training, in tenns of the desired 

knowledge, skill, and/or attitude changes that the training is intended to effect. If problems 

related to job perfonnance are the primary reason for the scheduling of the training, these should 

be highlighted. If the training is intended to prepare staff to understand and implement new 

regulations, equipment, or procedures, these should be described. 

Informal discussions within the agency provide vital information but are often inadequate for a 

complete and accurate needs assessment. Surveys of potential trainees and their supervisors are 

useful in pinpointing training needs. These surveys can be conducted through telephone or faceto-face interviews or through written questionnaires. These surveys can simply ask the potential 

trainees what they think their needs are, or the survey can delve into the roles and responsibilities 

of the potential trainees, the skills that they need to fulfill these roles and responsibilities, 

existing levels of knowledge and skill, and the gaps between the existing and required knowledge 

and skill. 

Job analyses can also assist in identifying training needs. The job analysis consists of a 

delineation of the specific tasks that are performed by staff in various positions and the 

knowledge and skills that are needed to perfonn these tasks. The job analysis can be combined 

with an assessment of existing knowledge and skill levels to identify the gaps. 

Agency staff can be reluctant to discuss training needs if they believe that this will reflect badly 

on them and their capabilities -they might be afraid to admit that there are aspects of their jobs 

that they do not feel thoroughly competent to perform. The use of anonymous questionnaires can 

overcome this reluctance, although this also reduces the agency's ability to target the training to 

those in need. Another approach is to have a third party or neutral outsider conduct the 

questioning and prepare the analysis. This third party can be someone from another part of the 

agency or a consultant. In the best of situations, the agency will cultivate an atmosphere in 

which enhancement of knowledge and skills through training is viewed positively and 

assessments of training needs are part of normal agency routine. 

The needs assessment will assist in clarifying training goals and objectives. It can also gather 

information on appropriate training methods. For example, it is critical to know whether the 

potential training audience has access to satellite downlink sites if a satellite videoconference is 

planned. Or, if CD-ROM or Internet training is under consideration, it is important to know 

whether potential trainees have access to needed equipment at their own desks. 

When analyzing needs assessment results, it is crucial to be as specific as possible. While it is 

useful to identify broad topic areas in which training is needed, it is more useful to determine 

what particular aspects of the topic are most important and whether the training should be at a 

beginning, intermediate, or advanced level. The analysis should also indicate the different needs 

of various subgroups within the agency staff - inspectors, permit writers, SIP developers, and 

other groups might have some needs in common but also are likely to have some needs that are 

very specific to their jobs and responsibilities. An accurate understanding of these different 

needs will enable you to pinpoint those staff members who should attend various training events, 

Needs Assessment - Page 2 
Tools for Trainers (January 1998) 

thus avoiding wasting resources and time by sending staff to training that is irrelevant or at an 

inappropriate level for their needs. 

The fonns in this section of Tools for Trainers can be adapted by your agency to help you assess 

your staffs training needs. Adoption of a training plan or career ladder for staff will also help 

you detennine the training needs of the staff, based on a prescribed curriculum (examples of 

training plans and career ladders are included in a separate section of Tools). 

Tips on Using Needs Assessment Tools 

This section of Tools for Trainers presents samples of needs assessment interview guides and 

written questionnaires that can be used or adapted for use by your agency. The steps to follow in 

designing your needs assessment include the following: 

Step 1: Establish Objectives. Why are you conducting the needs assessment? To 

decide how to spend trairung funds in the upcoming year? To focus a specific course that 

you have selected? To identify individual staff members' needs so that training resources 

can be allocated among staff appropriately? To respond to the STAPPNALAPCO 

survey? Other? 

Step 2; Select an Approach. What is the best approach to achieve your objective(s)-

informal discussions, surveys of potential participants, job analyses? How much can you 

learn from existing information - for example, if the training need will be created by a 

new regulation, what skills and knowledge will agency staff need to implement the new 

regulation? Based on the approach selected, who should be included in the respondent 

pool - all or a sample of the potential trainees, their supervisors? 

Step 3: Develop Materials and Procedures. Look through the materials in this section 

of the Tools notebook and select formats and questions that might apply. You can take 

portions of various different forms or you can use a format that you like and create new 

questions within its framework. If you don't know how you will use the answer to a 

specific question, leave it out! This will keep the questionnaire short, to the pomt, and 

easy for staff to complete. 

Step 4: Pretest Materials and Procedures. If possible, you should pretest your 

materials and procedures with a few selected respondents. This pretest will tell you if 

your materials will gather the information you anticipate. It will also indicate those 

questions that can be easily misinterpreted. It is helpful to talk with the pretest 

respondents after they have completed the materials to discuss their suggestions for 

improving the forms. 

Finally, let staff know that their participation in the needs assessment mattered- show them that 

the training planned for the agency and for individuals was based, at least to some extent, on 

their feedback.

Question 5B page 6 o/6 
Air Compliance Inspector 

Basic Training Program Questionnaire 

Al 7 
Al8 
Air Compliance Inspector Basic Training Program Questionnaire 

EPA Order 3500.1, June 29. 1988, established an EPA agency-wide training program for 

environmental compliance and field inspectors. The order requires that EPA regional and 

headquaners inspectors meet minimum training criteria prior to conducting facilny inspections. 

Minimum training curricula include Occupational Health and Safety, Basic Inspector Curnculum, 

and Program Specific Curriculum. Since 1988, EPA has been developing and delivering training 

relanve to Order 3500. l in cooperation with state and local agencies. Many state/local inspectors 

have attended these courses. 

Although the order is voluntary for state/local agency inspectors, and does not specifically 

establish training criteria for them, it could form the basis for state/local training programs. State 

and local agency inspectors conduct the majority of compliance inspections, and therefore would 

benefit a great deal from similar formalized traming. EP NStationary Source Compliance 

Division (SSCD) in coordination with EPA Region V, Ohio EPA, and the Ohio Regional Arr 

Pollution Control Agencies (RAPCA) are conducting a program development demonstration 

project in which state and local agency inspectors will be trained specific to their needs. 

The purpose of this questionnaire is to establish a baseline for the inspector training programs 

currently available to Ohio EPA and RAPCA personnel and to identify the basic level training 

needs of these agencies. In responding to this survey, please answer each question as it best 

represents your agency. Answers should be kept simple and should not require research or a 

significant amount of time. The results will be summarized and reponed back to you. 

Questions concerning this questionnaire can be forwarded to Bruno Maier at the Ohio Regional 

Air Pollution Control Agency in Dayton, Ohio at 513-225-4795, fax number 513-225-3486 

Completed questionnaires should be sent to Bruno at the following address: RAPCA, 451 W. 3rd 

Street, Dayton, OH 45422

Staff Development Plans 

Importance of Staff Development Plans 

Staff development plans, which we are using as a broad tenn to encompass training plans and 

career ladders as well, are an important management tool for state and local agencies. These 

plans represent a long-tenn commitment on the part of management and the employee to a 

program of training and other activities that will assist the employee in obtaining the skills and 

knowledge needed to perfonn current duties and will also prepare the individual for a future in 

the program. 

There is a continuing need for staff development in state and local agencies, as new staff are 

hired, staff are transferred from other programs, regulations change, and new programs are 

created. Some staff development needs can be predicted, based on the requirements of a 

position; others arise as changes occur. 

Staff development can include fonnal training, through classroom courses, self-study, satellite 

courses, and computer-based courses; attending professional meetings; and on-the-job training 

and mentoring. At each stage of an employee's career, the appropriate mix of staff development 

resources might be different. 

Two Types of Staff Development Plans 

There are two broad types of staff development plans: "generic" plans for specific jobs, positions, 

or duties and individual plans for each employee. These two types of plans are complementary, 

in that it is much easier to plan for individual employee development if there is a generic plan 

that can serve as a reference. 

Tools for Trainers has gathered generic plans from several state and local agencies. Most of 

these plans identify specific courses, often identifying the suggested provider as well, that should 

be completed by employees in specific positions. The approach developed by the Texas Natural 

Resource Conservation Commission takes the extra step of explicitly defining skills required for 

each position and then identifying courses that are designed to address these skill areas. 

Preparing Staff Development Plans 

Staff development and staff development planning are processes; staff development plans are 

living documents. The planning process is a collaboration between the supervisor and the 

employee that can include the following steps: 

+ Assessment of the employee's immediate needs for the job at hand (current skills and 

knowledge compared to skills and knowledge needed for the position}- if your agency 

has a generic staff development or training plan for the position, this assessment is much 

easier since the required skills and knowledge (or required course prerequisites) will be 

described. 

Staff Development Plans - 1 

Bl 
B2 

Tools for Trainers (January 1998) 

+ Identification of potential resources to meet the needs identified. 

+ Development of a continuing plan for updating the employee's skills and knowledge and 

expanding skills and knowledge in new areas. 

Generic staff development plans and individual staff development plans should be updated 

frequently to reflect the changing environment in which agency staff work. New regulations, 

new technology, new industry moving into the state, and other factors can indicate the need for 

changes. Information from needs assessments can be used to update the plan and evaluation of 

training courses can be used to update provider suggestions in the plan.

INTRODUCTION 

The air program training plan for entry level employees was developed 

from training guidance provided in previous training plans, new 

training courses (DER Academy, the new air pollution training center 

in Piscataway, NJ, etc.) currently available, and updated training 

needs assessments by both regional and central off ice 

managers/supervisors. 

The plan is structured to provide easily accessible guidance for all 

new and technical employees based upon classification (regional 

offices) and work assignment (central office). The regional offices 

are all similarly organized and, therefore, work assignment 

differentiation for the regions is not necessary. In central 

office, employees in the same classification are assigned to 

Divisions with diverse work assignments. Therefore, the central 

off ice portion of the plan is also segmented by work assignment. The 

plan is designed to be used as a checklist for scheduling training 

during new employees' first 18 months to two years. 

Additional in-house training for implementation of new regulations 

will be developed in consultation with the regional offices and 

provided to the degree staff time is available. This type of 

in-house training may more properly be directed towards supervisors 

and/or veteran staff as opposed to new employees. 

The usual focus life of plans and/or reports is very short. 

tend to file these documents on a shelf or in a drawer 

eventual disposal when space is needed for something else. 

We all 

pending 

Hopefully, all air program managers and supervisors will recognize 

that this plan can and should be a ready reference for both 

scheduling training and an ongoing review of training status for all 

new employees.

Mission: EOG manages the Air Pollution Training Institute(APTI) whose mission 

Students: 

is to provide technical air pollution training, principally to State and local 

Air agencies to enhance skills necessary to understand and implement air 

programs and policies. In addition, the Env. Education program mission is 

to increase K-12 students' environmental literacy, encourage youth to 

pursue env. careers and enhance students' env. stewardship. Finally the 

Outreach Program strives to build new partnerships and strengthen 

existing ones in air areas by reaching out to non-traditional 

audiences with relevant information in a way that they can understand. 

18,000 -approx. no. of students trained in FY 1997.N.B.: This represents 

about 26,000 student days of training. 

Trg Mthds: Classroom 

Satellite Downlink 

Self-study- including written materials, audio and video materials. 

Grth Area: Our biggest growth area is in satellite training. Over the past four and 

one half years, the air pollution distance learning network (APDLN) has 

grown to about 110 down-link sites across the US and simultaneously 

the popularity of the telecasts has grown. 

Networks: Other networks with which we are involved include: EPA Regional 

Offices, University-based Area Training Centers across the US, the 

Air and Waste Management Association, ACS, National Technological 

University and Univ. Of Tennessee System(for Small Business broadcasts). 

Mkt Niche: Our niche in the training market is as follows: Geographically-we are a 

national training resource dedicated to the training needs of State and local 

air agencies. Subject- first-band info. On emerging rules and regulations 

Delivery-Only National network of Downlink sites at SIL air agencies 

Funding: Technical Training: 105 Grant funds; Env. Ed. & Outreach: EPA dollars. 

Personnel to support all of the above are provided by EPA funds. 

Needs: We financially support and provide assistance in the Annual Needs 

Assessment conducted by ST APP Al ALAPCO 

Info: Training information is available by e-mail, on diskette, via Internet 

and in catalog form.

2. Audience of your training. 

State/local/federal/tribal, as well as industry and environmental organization 

attendees; students predominantly compliance inspectors with engineers and planners in 

somewhat smaller numbers. 

3 Mission statement. 

The National Air Compliance Training Delivery Project is a multi-year, federal, 

state and locally funded program to demonstrate and deliver onsite California Air Resources 

Board 100 Basic Compliance Inspector training and to demonstrate, develop and deliver Series 

200 specific source category training. 

4. Number of students trained in last fiscal year 96/97. 

A total of 108 class days were presented during fiscal year 96/97. This translates 

into a total of 2,626 student days of training. 

5. Method of training, i.e. classroom, downlink. 

All CARB 5 courses are conducted onsite by an ARB staff specialist and/or 

retired seniors that are hired as instructor/trainers through the National Council on Aging. The 

courses include classroom discussions, lectures, video/slide presentations with manuals. The 

Series 200 courses include a site visit as part of the course. 

6. What is the biggest growth area for your courses/training? 

The largest demand is the Series 200 courses, specifically the CEMs and 

observing source testing courses. We have scheduled the 200 courses already for 1999. 

7. What "networks" are you involved with that are not represented by this group? 

CARB works with all of the training coordinators for most of the 50 states and all 

of the ten EPA regions. CARB also works with the NETI, APTI and WEST AR. 

cs 
C6 

8. What is your niche in the training market: geographically, subject and delivery? 

Our courses have been taught to students from the entire United States, including 

Alaska and Hawaii. CARB 5 "niche" has been that the training has been onsite to maximize 

convenience and minimize travel costs for the state and local agencies that participate in the 

courses. Also the focus of the courses is compliance. 

9. Source of funding? 

All of the CARB 5 courses are funded through 105 funds. 

10. Do you (1) do an annual needs assessment and (2) did you participate in EPA needs 

assessment? 

The Air Resources Board does an annual needs assessment for the staff within the 

State of California. ARB also participated in EPA's assessment. ARB staff have been involved 

with the EPA needs assessment and have used the results to play for future training courses for 

the National CARB 6 program. 

11. Is your training information available electronically, by e-mail or on disk? 

The training schedule for CARB 5 is located on the ST APP N ALAPCO training 

web page. Attached is a hard copy of that schedule. Also ARB's training schedule is on the web 

page indicated at the top of this paper.

NATIONAL ENFORCEMENT TRAINING INSTITUTE 

Purpose and History of NET/ 

leadership for 

enforcing 

environmental laws 

NETI is responsible for training Fed1.. . .,.,, State, Local and Tribal lawyers, 

inspectors, civil and criminal investigators and technical experts in the 

enforcement of the nation's environmental laws. Congress created the 

National Enforcement Training Institute as a part of the Pollution Prosecution Act 

of 1990 (P.L. 101-592, 42 USC 4321) and is the only Congressionally mandated 

training entity within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As of 

September 30, 1995, NETI is a division in the Office of Criminal Enforcement, 

Forensics and Training within the Office of Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance. 

In fiscal year 1996, NETI and its partners trained almost 4700 environmental 

enforcement professionals in approximately 50 civil and criminal 

environmental enforcement training courses. 

Facilities and Training Available 

NETI's strategy is to promote a balanced training approach using traditionaf 

classroom training, distance learning, and cooperative agreements with other 

organiz.ations. NETI and its partners offer quality training courses for enforcement 

personnel in a number of areas, such as: 

case support: coW"Ses for attorneys, inspectors and technical staff that 

cover things such as basic and multimedia inspections, case development, 

negotiation :;kills, and administrative b:~arings and trial experience. 

specific statute enforcement: courses for inspectors, investigators and 

attorneys that cover inspection techniques, regulations and specific issues 

for a statute. 

compliance assistance: coW"Ses for personnel that provide compliance 

assistance to the regulated community. 

environmental criminal enforcement: coW"Ses for criminal investigators, 

local law enforcement, ang attorneys that cover techniques in recognizing 

and investigating environmental cnme. 

Cl9 
C20 

Besides providing training in EPA's Regional offices around the country and at 

other state locations, NETI manages three training sites: 

NETI-HQ in Washington, DC, includes state-of-the-art training space 

such as a computer development laboratory, a video conferencing room 

and a mock courtroom; 

NETI-West in Lakewood, CO, a suburb of Denver, offers a convenient 

training location for mucli of the western half of the U.S.; and 

Fl ETC, or the Federal Law Enforcerier• Training Center, in Gl;·!lco, GA 

provides training for EPA' s criminal enforcement personnel. 

Newest Course Offerings 

NETI piloted a new _course in a nationwide satellite broadcast in November 1996: 

"Environmental Enforcement Negotiations Skills -The Basics." This new 

course teaches a varietv of tools and tactics used to reach settlement, how to plan 

and prepare for a successful negotiation, and how to manage time wisely. The 

course materials, including video tapes, reference materials and facilitated 

simulations, will allow this course to be taught in a variety of settings. 

NETI staff are developing a new computer-based course, "Environmental 

Statute Review," that will provide an overview of seven major environmental 

statutes for which EPA is responsible. The course will be distributed on 

CD-ROM and will use graphics, animation, video, and narration to examine the 

background, major provisions, and enforcement authorities associated with each 

statute. NETI expects this course to be available in the spring of 1997.

2. Audience: Federal, state and local air pollution personnel and private industry 

3. Mission Statement: The Air Pollution Compliance Training Center uses a 

curriculum-based approach to training; rather than as individual short courses. Our goal is 

to provide quality training to the air pollution regulatory community using a stepwise 

graded curriculum. The curriculum was originally designed in collaboration with USEP A 

for the purpose of providing the federal air pollution inspector with the minimum training 

necessary to conduct inspections under EPA Order 3500.1, however the program has 

found broad acceptance with state and local air pollution control agencies. The 

curriculum is six weeks in length and is broken down into two-week blocks of training 

known as Levels I, II, and III. These Levels were designed as a progression with each 

succeeding level being more technical in nature, with separate topics covered in one to 

four-day modules. By following the progression of training levels, the student avoids 

overlapping courses and is presented with the necessary skills to conduct effective field 

inspections. 

4. Number of students trained m the last year: 620 

5. Method of training: combination of classroom, site visit, hands-on laboratory, and (new 

this year) Internet-based distance education. 

6. The largest growth area remains state and local enforcement agencies. The Center has 

had considerable success in the past year in conducting both the basic and advanced 

training levels at sites away from our base in New Jersey. It is our intention to continue to 

make our courses available throughout the U.S. 

7. The Center is also affiliated with the University Network for Environmental Training 

(UNET), the Universities Occupational Safety and Health Educational Resource Center 

(UOSHERC), the Mid-Atlantic Asbestos Training Center (MAA TC), USEPA Air 

Pollution Training Institute (APTI) and is a NIOSH training site.

Evaluation 

Why Conduct Evaluations? 

Training involves a considerable investment of staff time and, generally, agency funds. It is 

important to determine whether the training met its objectives and was effective. It is also 

important to determine whether additional training needs remain. Evaluation can provide the 

answers to these questions and can also help an agency decide which courses to select in the 

future, based on their past effectiveness. 

Approaches to Evaluation 

Evaluation of training programs can use several different approaches. These include: 

+ Participant Feedback.. This feedback can ascertain whether participants found the 

course useful, understandable, too short or long, too difficult or easy, and other factors. 

However, this type of evaluation often reflects whether the participants liked the 

instructors, were comfortable in the room, and other "satisfactionn measures-not 

necessarily whether he course met their needs or was effective. This form of feedback is 

generally obtained through a written feedback form, designed to be easy to complete. 

+ Tests or Quizzes. Tests can be administered at the end of the course only (post-tests) to 

deternune knowledge or skill level at the completion of the course. A better approach is 

to administer a pre-test before the course in addition to the post-test to enable the 

evaluator to determine the imprqvement that was due to the course. Post-test results can 

also indicate needs for further training. 

+ Instructor Feedback. Feedback from instructors is particularly useful when pilot testing 

new courses. The instructors can provide valuable insights into participant reactions as 

well as whether they thought the flow of their session was appropriate, the logic was 

solid, the content was complete, etc.-factors they could only know by actually 

delivering the course. This feedback can be obtained through informal discussions 

following each day or the entire course or through more formal interviews. 

+ Participant-Observation. For a new course, it is useful to have an evaluator sit through 

the course as a "participant-observer" talcing notes and observing the instructor and 

participants. The participant-observer can see if participants are paying attention and if 

the instructors are speaking effectively. They can also document the actual content of the 

course, beyond what is contained in the instructor manual or promised in a provider 

catalog. This technique is also useful if your agency is considering a course for your 

staff, if you can observe the course as it is delivered to another agency. 

+ Follow-up Interviews or Questionnaires. Follow-up interviews and questionnaires can 

be used to supplement the immediate reactions to the course obtained through the 

methods listed above. These interviews can involve the participants as well as their 

Evaluation - Page I 

Dl

Tools for Trazners (January 1998) 

supervisors and should address whether the course provided useful infonnation, whether 

items should be added to the course or emphasized, or whether items should be deleted 

from the course or de-emphasized. The follow-up can also obtain examples of how the 

training assisted the participant in improving his or her job perfonnance. 

Tips on Designing and Conducting Evaluations 

The materials in this section of Tools for Trainers provide examples of the various types of 

evaluations you might conduct. The key element in designing an evaluation is defining the 

objectives of the evaluation -what questions should it answer or what decisions will it affect? 

Examples, and the implications for the design include: 

+ Course improvement. If a course is offered more than once, it is useful to obtain 

feedback from participants so that the course can be improved for its future delivery. To 

meet this objective, the evaluation should address the course content and materials that 

could be changed in the future, such as topics that should be added or deleted; level of the 

course (basic to advanced); usefulness of materials; relevance of small group exercises; 

and quality of visual aids. Participant feedback, participant-observation, and instructor 

feedback are particularly useful. 

+ Selection of instructors. Some instructors are more effective than others. Evaluation 

can help you select the best instructors and to provide assistance or training-of-trainers to 

those whose delivery skills need improvement. Participant feedback and participantobservtion are most useful. 

+ Selection of courses from yarious alternatives. There might be several providers who 

offer courses on a given topic. Evaluation can assist you in selecting the best course for 

your agency staff. In these cases, it is useful to establish some criteria, such as length of 

the course, method of delivery, and level of the course, and then to evaluate the various 

alternatives that meet the criteria. Participant-observation is the best approach, if you or 

another representative of your agency can attend the course in another location. 

+ Documentation of results. You might be asked to document the results of training - the 

return on the training investment. In this case, participant satisfaction is less important 

than changes in knowledge and skill that led to improvement in job perfonnance. Test 

results are useful to provide quantitative documentation. Follow-up interviews with 

trainees and their supervisors are useful in providing anecdotes and examples. If the 

training was intended to resolve a specific problem, follow-up measurement or 

examination of the problem will be needed. 

+ Promotion of training or specific courses. In competing for scarce resources, you 

might find it necessary to promote the value of training in general or specific courses. In 

this case, it is most important to determine what types of information will have the most 

effect with the target audience. Documented results are generally effective, with some 

participant feedback such as quotes on course quality and usefulness. A combination of 

quantifiable results, such as an increase in number and proportion of successful 

Evaluation - Page 2 
Tools/or Trainers (January 1998) 

enforcement cases, with anecdotes that illustrate improved performance is often the most 

effective. 

Post-tests can also be used to determine whether trainees should receive some form of credit or a 

certificate for the course. 

Evaluation results feed back into needs assessment Areas that were not covered adequately in 

the course, based on trainee feedback, may constitute continuing training needs. Trainees might 

recognize additional training needs as a result of their participation in a related course or, as 

trainees improve their skills in one area, supervisors might recognize needs in another area. 

It is helpful to work with the training provider on the course evaluation and to share the results. 

In some cases, the provider will have their own participant feedback forms that are tailored to the 

course and its individual sessions. The provider might also administer pre-tests and/or post-tests. 

Whenever possible, your evaluation should include some form of follow-up with trainees, their 

supervisors, or even the regulated community. This follow-up is very useful in documenting 

changes in knowledge or skill that can be attributed to the training program, problems that have 

been overcome, and issues that have been resolved. It also provides feedback on what proved to 

be more useful and less useful to the trainees in their jobs. After they have had an opportunity to 

apply their new knowledge and/or skills, the trainees can identify strengths or weaknesses in the 

training that might not have been apparent during the course. Comments such as "I found that I 

didn't really understand this process (method, rule, etc.) as well as I thought I did" or "the course 

didn't address this aspect of the process (method, rule, etc.)" can identify continuing training 

needs and can also assist training providers in improving their courses.
