Through the evaluation, we can make a correct and reasonable judgment on the training effect, so as to know whether a project has reached the original goals and requirements;
Through the evaluation, we can see whether the improvement of trainees' knowledge and technical ability or the change of behavior performance directly comes from the training itself.
For example, in a training course of management decision-making, select a group of two identical levels to participate in the training. After the training, the same decision-making case can be submitted to the training group and the untrained group for discussion and decision-making. If the decision analysis and solutions obtained by the two groups are the same or similar, it shows that the decision-making ability of the trained group has not improved, and its decision-making ability does not directly come from the training itself.
Through the evaluation, we can find the shortage of training and sum up the experience and lessons so as to improve the future training.
New training needs can often be found through evaluation, thus providing an important basis for the next round of training. Moreover, through the positive evaluation of successful training, trainees' interest in training activities can often be improved and their enthusiasm and creativity can be stimulated.
The cost-effectiveness of training can be checked by evaluation. Evaluating the expenditure and income benefit of training activities is helpful to make the funds more reasonably distributed.
