Some companies will use “Level 2: Learning” to measure whether the learners have mastered the training course content. The focus is on the training event itself and the follow-up to that event. Company executives are typically interested in the bottom line, not how well their employees apply the learning from a training class.

In both cases, the managers had complete control over the training their workers did or didn’t get. Trust me…trying to train folks on a software package that they will neither need nor use is an exercise in frustration for everyone involved, not to mention a waste of time and money.
