Hi Rachel, thanks so much for sharing this as it is something that we also are trying to tackle. In case it helps others by building on what you have mentioned already - what also helped us a lot was:
1. Splitting impact into what was in our control (basically the number of people we trained) and what was out of our control (what they did with our training and what impact and change in efficiency that helped them to achieve)
2. Only setting objectives for what was inside our control but still (as you do already) capture the impact/change that the training contributed to but that was outside of our control.
This helped us a lot to simplify and better report on our training impact. The process we used to determine what was inside and outside our control is here and here is our plan in which we document our monitoring approach - any suggestions on improving it very welcome!
Hi Adam - apologies I just spotted your response!
It would be great to chat some more and share lessons learned during development and implementation. Maybe we can set something up on here?
We also found it helpful to clearly define which results were within our control before developing an evaluation system. In our theory of change, this includes knowledge, self-confidence and motivation which we measure immediately after each training course.
Hey Rach! :)
oh hey there! :)
