VALIDATION AND
EVALUATION OF
TRAINING
Validation
   It is the verification of the programmes by
    means of tests which demonstrate whether
    actual behaviour of a fully representative
    sample of the target population at the end of
    the training programme is commensurate with
    the stipulated criterion of behaviour.
Evaluation
   Evaluation is the collection of analysis and
    interpretation of information about any aspects
    of a programme of education or training as
    part of a recognised process of judging its
    effectiveness, its efficiency and any other
    outcomes it may have.
Need for Evaluation

    well done, worth the cost

    become better than present

    developement
