Training Reports

Training reports are an essential part of any successful training program. They provide a detailed record of what was covered in the training, who attended it, and how the training was received. This information is vital for both the trainers and the trainees, as it helps to ensure that the training is effective and that any necessary follow-up or additional training can be provided.

One of the main reasons why training reports are so important is that they provide a record of what was learned during the training. This can be valuable for trainees and trainers, as it allows them to review the material covered in the training and ensure they understand the key concepts well.

Another reason why training reports are so important is that they provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of the training. This feedback can be used to improve the training program and ensure that it meets the trainees’ needs. For example, if the training report indicates that specific topics were not well-understood by the trainees, the trainer can adjust the training program to focus on those topics in the future.

Additionally, training reports can be used to evaluate the performance of individual trainers. This can help identify areas where the trainers may need additional support or training, and it can also be used to recognize and reward top-performing trainers.

Overall, training reports are an essential part of any training program. They provide valuable information about what was covered in the training, who attended it, and how the training was received. This information is vital for ensuring that the training is effective and meets the trainees’ needs. As such, trainers and trainees need to pay close attention to ensure that the training report is accurate and up-to-date.

When employees are not performing their jobs up to par, managers and supervisors search for solutions to correct the problem. One conclusion managers and supervisors can come to when employees have performance problems is that some training can fix the problem. Managers and supervisors assume that offering training to employees can help them learn the skills and knowledge they need to perform their daily job functions more efficiently and effectively.

In some cases, training can be the answer. It depends on what the performance problem is. In other cases, it will take more than having employees attend some training to correct the underlying issue or root cause of the problem. The bottom line is when training needs to occur, the discussion of what to do to document and track that training needs to be had.

To create training reports, you will need background information: Who, What, Where, When, and How?

Who needs the training? What are they being trained on? Where did the activity occur? When did the movement occur? How did the training occur, or what were the results of the training? Beyond this, however, you will need to collate the information into an actionable format.

So how do you generate and share training reports?

1. Get a free trial account of the eLeaP Training System: Create a trial account and see how easy it is to get reports of your training efforts. You can easily share your training reports with your team members or even provide access for superiors to view these reports online. eLeaP training reports will answer all the questions about who, what, where, and how.

2. Upload training materials, including external training courses, seminars, and more. Since you have one interface to document all these training materials, it is easy to manage the increasing amount of documentation and information resulting from the training requirements of companies.

3. Of course, if your training efforts are entirely offline or in person and you need to document those efforts manually, then you might still need the old-fashioned paper and pen/pencil approach or even manually collect documentation in an Excel report. While these methods work for some organizations, we must refrain from relying on them as many disasters have easily wiped out such records. You can use an online training management system like eLeaP to help you organize this process.
