Learning Audits

If you need to maximize learning effectiveness, propel your team to work together on proven practices, or get a credible reality check to surface blind spots; a learning audit may be just what you need.

Tailored to your situation, a learning audit investigates the strengths and weaknesses of your learning designs through multiple data-gathering efforts, potentially including design reviews, research benchmarking, job shadowing, focus groups, surveys, structured interviews, artifact reviews, data reviews, and learning-evaluation techniques. Learning audits can involve extensive efforts to gather multiple data points or they can involve relatively quick-and-dirty reviews to reveal immediate insights. Recommendations are conveyed within the context of foundational principles of learning. Our learning audits are designed and carried out by Dr. Will Thalheimer, who invented research benchmarking over a decade ago and is now the world’s foremost authority on learner feedback.

Learning Audit Pricing

Learning Audits range from $1,000 for a quick review, to $20,000 for a targeted audit, up to hundreds of thousands for a comprehensive evaluative audit.

Learning-Audit Workshops

If you need to reenergize your team, get everybody on the same page with proven research-based practices, or maximize your learning results; a learning-audit workshop may be just what you need.

Our learning-audit workshops are part learning audit, part training, part team-building. These workshops were born in Will’s work with the Navy Seals, who needed a research-based method to audit their training, but couldn’t wait for their year-long training to be audited. Your team will experience intensive learning combined with opportunities to apply research-benchmarking techniques to your organization’s learning interventions. Whether a one-day, two-day, or three-day experience; your workshop will have your team coming together in strategic planning, deciding on major design improvements, the low-hanging fruit to quick-fix, and a plan for next steps. This powerful immersive experience is designed to be transformative, both for your team members and for your learning!

Learning-Audit Workshop Pricing

Although our workshops are often tailored to your specific requirements, our standard workshop experiences are priced as follows:

  • Three-Day Workshop Focused on Learning Effectiveness: $17,000
  • One-Day Workshop Focused on Learning Evaluation: $8,000
  • Combined Four-Day Workshop: $21,000.
