Evaluation provides an opportunity for critical, strategic thinking through collecting and analysing information about a program's activities, characteristics and outcomes. It allows you to assess the effectiveness of your program and improve future services.

This course is highly participatory and interactive allowing you to apply learning throughout.

You will also determine appropriate evaluative approaches for the purpose of tracking progress, making judgments and decisions, building understanding, improving effectiveness and using evidence in program design and reporting. In this evaluation course, you will also draw on your own work case studies connected to organisational strategic goals to build your own learning and capacity.
