Analyzing Jobs In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct a full job analysis as described in Chapter 2 to determine where training is needed.Pilot Test Pilot tests are used once the training design and content have been developed. They involve a focus group of participants used to evaluate the relevance of the content and delivery methods to the stated training objectives, followed up by their feedback and influence on the final delivery.Pre-Test A pre-test can be used to measure participant knowledge prior to the design of the training. In addition to content-specific questions, it should also ask for feedback related to “the muddiest point”— the content that seems most unclear to the end user. Other options for testing employee knowledge include assessment centers, knowledge tests to measure what people know, and practical tests to determine whether they’re able to apply what they know.
