Subject: Transfer of Training Tool Available at No Cost

I thought this might be of interest to organizations seeking certification to the Quality System Standard ISO 9001. The U.S. Department of Energy Carlsbad Area Office (DOE/CAO) and Westinghouse are making TRANS-MEASURE, a transfer of training measurement and continuous improvement tool, available to educational institutions, businesses, consultants, government agencies, not-for-profits, and individual citizens at no cost to recipients through a federal sharing program. TRANS-MEASURE provides organizations with the following information for their training courses:

+ Transfer of Training Rate: The percentage of knowledge, skills, and
abilities successfully transferred from the training setting to the job.
+ Prior Knowledge Rate: The percentage of tasks covered in a training
course that trainees already knew how to perform before taking the training.
+ "Didn't Stick" Rate: The percentage of tasks covered in a training course
that trainees cannot perform six months after training.
+ Value Added Rating: A measurement that adds task importance to the
transfer of training equation: "Did we train and transfer most what matters
most?"

Trans-Measure is a streamlined, user-friendly offspring of the Westinghouse-developed Transfer of Training Evaluation Model. To obtain TRANS-MEASURE at no cost to you, please complete an application at the our website:
http://www.t2ed.com

We will obtain approvals and then send you a password and an ID, allowing you to download TRANS-MEASURE directly from the website to your computer. We usually turn around requests within one business day or less. Please note that over 200,000 pages of diagnostic tools, courses, and guides are available at no cost through the website.
