In the end, the organization you are interviewing with wants to ensure that time and money put into employee training strengthens their workforce to meet business goals. They'll want to be confident in your ability to measure the success of the training programs that you will administer in this role. While you are aware that there are many ways to measure the success or failure of a particular training program, how you measure success may ultimately differ based on the type of training that you provide and who your audience is. As you answer, talk about the importance of using on-the-job measurements with a training session. Talk about your desire to solicit feedback from learners and leaders on the training that you provide and how you can utilize constructive criticism to your advantage.

"Any time that I can utilize key performance indicators to measure a training program's effectiveness, I do just that. If I'm training warehouse staff on being efficient on the job, I can utilize order fill times prior to and following the training as a measurement of the success of the training. If a training session I create utilizes a quiz or test, looking at the results of those is a way of determining the training's effectiveness, and I can adjust the program if needed. Sometimes, it is necessary to rely on more subjective data like feedback from those attending my training and their managers. Any time I conduct in-person training, I utilize a feedback form that has learners rate the content of the training and my delivery. I have used this feedback consistently over my career to improve."
