Context you provide

• Training topic (e.g., {{topic}})
• Target audience (e.g., {{audience}})
• Training format (e.g., live webinar, self-paced course) and duration ({{format_duration}})
• Learning objectives (e.g., {{objectives}})

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Based on the inputs, propose a mix of evaluation methods: a post-training survey, a knowledge retention quiz, and behavioral observation metrics.
3. Draft 5–10 survey questions tailored to the topic and audience.
4. Design a 5-question quiz that tests key learning points.
5. Suggest how to measure application of skills on the job (e.g., follow-up survey, manager feedback).
