WorkshopPLUS Benefits
Incoming Assessment to baseline knowledge. It is important for students to get
feedback on how much they have learned during the WorkshopPLUS course. To
accomplish that end, the Incoming Assessment measures what students know at the
beginning of the course. This 25-question assessment was developed by a team of subject
matter experts at Microsoft.
Outgoing Assessment to measure knowledge transfer. Students like to know how
much they learned as a result of the training. At the end of the WorkshopPLUS course,
students compare their Incoming and Outgoing results. In addition, the instructor reviews
the questions and discusses the answers in detail to ensure that students understand the
concepts. (Note: Individual results of the Incoming and Outgoing Assessment are not
provided to management.)
Action Planning Exercises to take workshop-acquired knowledge and apply them to
the workplace. Applying new knowledge in the real world is key to getting the most value
out of your training budget. The purpose of the Action Planning Exercises is to identify key
problems or proactive opportunities in your workplace — and then to use the skills
