Training Effectiveness: How to Develop Instruments to Measure Learning and Reduce Errors
Training programs have evolved through time. Human reliability or human error is usually attributed to training effectiveness or training program weaknesses/strengths. Even though Training is considered the "vaccine for mistakes," Training is as good as its effectiveness.
