Using the evaluation grids below, please score your skills and knowledge level both before the
training and after the training on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest),
and record on the grids provided.
There are TWO evaluation exercises:
   1) Self assessment of skills level (Pre-program/Post-program)
       Using this type of self-measurement of skills and abilities can be a useful tool in
       recognising areas of strengths and weakness and where improvements can be/were
       made. It will also help you realise what your level of understanding of the subject is after
       the training, and how you can make real improvements in the future.
   2) Multiple choice question (MCQ) test scores (Pre-program/Post-program)
       Before you start try taking one/both assessments (don’t worry if you do not score
       highly). Taking a test/quiz both pre-program and post program helps you to measure
       your actual development of skills and abilities. This is a useful tool in demonstrating your
       achievements and also recognising areas of strengths and weakness and where
       improvements can be made.
