Two-minute check

Could you prove your training works?

Seven questions, about two minutes. Nothing you enter is stored or sent.

  1. Have you written down, in specific terms, what the programme is meant to change?
  2. Do you measure those changes, not just whether people enjoyed it?
  3. Do you measure before the programme starts?
  4. Do you measure again at least a few weeks after it ends?
  5. Could you show the programme was delivered as designed?
  6. Do you have anything to compare against, such as earlier cohorts, another group or a published benchmark?
  7. Could you explain the results to a funder or board in plain language, including what they don't show?

Count your Yes answers:

0 to 2
Your evidence would probably show that people liked the programme, not that anything changed.
3 to 5
You have a foundation. The gaps are the ones a funder or client is most likely to question.
6 to 7
You're in a strong position. An independent review would confirm the evidence holds up and give you something to show others.

This is a quick guide, not a review.
