Training is the start. Let's talk about what happens after it.

Most training is measured by whether people liked it and passed the quiz. Find the Peerceptiv team in the DevLearn Expo to talk about the harder question: are people applying it at work, and can you prove it?

Training only pays off when it transfers

Learning transfer is the extent to which people are capable of applying what they learned in training to real work. If people learn a lot but apply none of it, the training produced nothing.

Transfer happens after training ends

That's exactly why it's so hard to see. The course wraps up, people go back to work, and whether they use what they learned depends on getting real chances to apply it, feedback on how it went, and practice over time.

Structured peer review builds that cycle into everyday work. People apply the skill, get feedback from several colleagues against clear criteria, and keep improving long after the course is over.

Most measurement stops at Level 1 or 2

Most organizations get stuck at the first two levels of the Kirkpatrick Model, satisfaction and knowledge, with little visibility into whether behavior actually changed on the job.

When peers review real work against a rubric, every review cycle becomes measurement data on behavior change. Aggregated across several reviewers, those scores closely track expert judgment.
