Traffic Incident Management Training Post-Course Assessment Tool Final Evaluation Report
CHAPTER 4. LEVEL 2 TRAIN-THE-TRAINER AND RESPONDER COURSE PRE- AND POST-TRAINING ASSESSMENTS
The Level 2 assessments are used to determine the effectiveness of the training in terms of how training participants comprehend and retain the course information. Prior to attending a Traffic Incident Management (TIM) training session, participants are asked to complete the appropriate pre-test to assess their existing knowledge of TIM. Then, immediately following a training session, participants are asked to complete the appropriate post-test. The post-test assesses participants' TIM knowledge after receiving the training.
The Train-the-Trainer pre-training Level 2 assessment consists of 20 questions and the post-training assessment consists of 40 questions. For the Responder course, the pre-training assessment contains 10 questions and the post-training assessment has 20 questions.
Table 2 below shows the average number and percentage correct questions pre- and post-training for both the TtT and Responder courses, along with the percentage of score improvement pre- to post-training. These represent averages across the six quarterly reports.
TtT participants went from an average of 60.2 percent correct answers pre-training to an average of 84.6 percent correct answers post-training, representing a 40.5 percent improvement post-training.
For Responder participants, the improvement was even more pronounced post-training, with an average 81.5 percent improvement in percentage of questions correct pre-training to post-training.
