A programme tests learners immediately after a course and reports high scores. Which additional measurement does NIST recommend, and what does it show?

  1. Testing again about three months later, which measures retention rather than exposure
  2. Retesting annually, which measures compliance
  3. Testing the learners' managers, which measures reinforcement
  4. Testing a control group, which measures course quality
Show the answer

SP 800-50r1 lists as quantitative data employee testing before the learning programme, immediately after it, and three months after attending the course, to assess knowledge retention.
