How Are We Evaluating our Trainings?
This resource is adapted from the synthesis of the first LevelUp Trainers' Webinar, hosted and faciliated by LevelUp and fabRiders. This session, which took place in February 2016, looked at the different methods by which trainers are currently assessing the impact of their workshops on the safe digital behaviors and habits of their participants."

It’s difficult to show a correlation between training, behaviour change and increased security - this is frequently compounded by a lack of time or strategy when it comes to post-event follow-up with participants.
Likewise, when both individuals and those in their networks are at equal risk due to certain actions or behaviours, it’s difficult to ascertain how secure they actually are. Relying on solely quantifiable information connected to metrics is often not helpful in understanding training effectiveness in a digital security context.

How Are We Evaluating our Trainings?
When it comes to digital security training, it’s important to ask: what is the change we are hoping to contribute to? It’s important for digital security trainers to clearly articulate this, in addition to attaining an understanding of participants’ knowledge and setting indicators of success - in these notes from LevelUp’s first Trainer Webinar, we discussed these important questions with trainers experienced in answering these questions.
