Revitalize Your Training With a Course Audit

Suppose you want to make home improvements, but are not sure exactly where to start. You could hire a contractor and interior decorator to completely overhaul a family room or great room, with new room structure, colors, wall coverings, and furniture.

Yet, is a completely new room more than what you need? Maybe the room just requires a new coat of paint, or a comfortable easy chair, or a more streamlined layout. Similarly, your organization may not need an entirely new training curriculum – perhaps an experienced learning consultant could evaluate your course to find the new “color” that will make a difference to your company.

EnVision offers such an assessment, our proprietary 80-point Course Audit. We can analyze one of your current courses or complete curriculum – whether or not your organization has delivered it – and determine which changes will take it to the next level. Which methods could better engage your learners? How well do visual aids like slides explain the material? Will the learners take away the key points that they need to, and be able to successfully incorporate them during their work day? Does the course include too much information? Not enough? EnVision’s Course Audit can help you answer all of these questions, and more.

During a Course Audit, EnVision’s consultant assesses the course’s goals, instructional integrity, evaluation methods and more. She will also examine its logistics planning and communication with management and learners. The consultant then incorporates observations and suggestions into a customized report, which includes the course’s strengths and immediate action items for improvement. Finally, the consultant reviews the report with the client.

This product provides many benefits. Because the work can usually be completed in about 16 hours, the turnaround time is short, crucial to clients on a deadline. The price point appeals to clients who find themselves limited by budget constraints.

Most important, the 80-point Course Audit prioritizes the most critical elements necessary for improving learner engagement and course efficacy. This service works well for those clients who have a strong sense of the organization’s goals and the course’s objectives, and it can help clients who could benefit from guidance in these areas.
