What is Training Programme Match Score?
A team training quiz recommends development programmes based on skill gaps, team size, learning objectives, budget, and delivery format preferences.
The Formula
Score = (Skill Gap Coverage + Format Fit + Budget Fit + Time Fit) ÷ 4
Worked Example
A sales team of 8: need negotiation skills, prefer interactive, $6K budget, max 2 days off-site.
- Workshop (2-day): skill match ✓, interactive ✓, $4-6K, 2 days ✓ = 92%
- Online course: skill partial, not interactive, $800, flexible time = 60%
- Individual coaching: skill match, interactive, $12K over budget = 65%
- Blended (workshop + follow-up online): best of both = 88%
📌 A 2-day interactive workshop scores 92% — best combination of skill development, engagement, and budget fit.

❌ No follow-up plan
70% of training knowledge is lost within 24 hours without reinforcement. Build 30-60 day follow-up into every programme.
❌ One format for everyone
Senior staff need different training formats than junior staff. Mix workshops, coaching, and online learning.
