Some types of training audits

Efficiency audit

You are a training manager in a company. You want to know if the actions you have taken under the training plan have been successful. You are going to ask for an effectiveness audit to determine the contribution of the training to the operational results of the trainees.

Efficiency audit

You have just joined a company as a skills manager. You feel that the training expenditure is significant in view of the results of a previous audit. You ask for an efficiency audit that will compare the effectiveness of the training to its costs; in a word, this audit serves to evaluate the profitability of the training.

Relevance audit (external)

You are an educational engineer at a university. In the context of updating certain degree courses, you decide to compare the content, methods and evaluation criteria of these courses with the sectors of activity and jobs for which these courses prepare. This is an external relevance audit.

Relevance audit (internal)

You are a trainer or educational engineer in a training company. A client has asked your firm to design just-in-time training, which your team has done. Post-training satisfaction surveys have shown that there was a gap between the pedagogical proposal and the employees' expectations. You initiate an audit to evaluate the pedagogical means in relation to the operational and training objectives. This is an internal relevance audit.
