Training Effectiveness/Evaluation and Training Assessments Fiona Hughes, Pfizer, Little Island
Where we were with training 3 years ago • Paper training records – filed by SOP name • Transcribed data to a database - errors • No standard course names numbers – duplicates, poor traceability • Training was done as SOPs were updated every 3 years • No formal definition of SOP Read and Understand, Course Instructor Led or On the Job Training OJT
Introduced new electronic system • Cross checked old vs new system • 3 years of data was uploaded manually • Introduced an electronic Learning Management System – Plateau • Put together Job Function Curriculum JFC for all colleagues • Verified data was correct - corrected • Training % complete was 37% - planned to close
Metrics • Training % complete measured every month on Quality Metrics board • Ran reports for % complete by • Dept • Person • Item • Analysed largest gaps • Planned to close
Plan to close training gaps • SOP Read & understand – online link to Documentation system + paper training record • Course Instructor Led - Scheduled 2 weeks of training – lunchtime sessions + paper training record • Assessments in place for some course e.g. GMP Refresher training
Training Policy • Overarching document defines that training system is made up of: • Induction • Job descriptions • Job Function Curriculum • Methods of training delivered • Importance of Training
Induction and Onboarding • Buddy system – point of contact • Booklet for new starter • Overview of systems and access • Map of site • Safety Policy • Sports and social aspects • Aimed as reference book

Multiple Choice Questions • Clear, grammatically correct questions • No trick questions • Mix up the position of the correct answer • Ensure all answers are the same length approximately (same no. of words) • Avoid “All of the Above” & “None of the above” answers
Self Management of Training For SOP Read and Understand Trainee can • Log on to LMS • Open up SOP – online link • Read SOP • Take assessment online • Sign training record electronically
Our Criteria • Pass rate is 100% • Assessments in SOP and electronic for LMS • 2 attempts at assessment • If trainee fails, trainee must go to SME/Instructor for instruction
Course Instructor Led Assessment • Trainer delivers training course • Trainee may use case studies, group exercise • Use assessment in SOP after training complete • All trainees are given opportunity to review Q&A and correct any wrong answers • Instructor signs off • Trainees sign electronic training record – online, gaps closed immediately, no transcription errors, no paper gets lost
OJT Assessment • Observe x times • Assist x times • Be Observed x times • Instructor & trainee sign off when the trainee is competent and has demonstrated
