Staff Training and Support Pre-Test and Post-Test for LRC Training
AIHA has developed the following pre-test and post-test questions for information coordinators to use to assess how much their staff trainees have learned after a training session. The idea is to test a trainee's level of knowledge both before and after he or she is trained. You may use these questions however you wish. You may want to have staff trainees take the same test before and after the training session (and not give them the answers until after they have taken the test the second time). Alternatively, you may want to give them some questions and answers before the training and the remaining questions and answers after the training.
Information coordinators should also feel free to omit some questions or to create new questions of your own. This should be based on the focus of your own training programs. You can refer to the following Web sites for additional examples of tests:

Information coordinators do not need to submit the results of your pre-tests and post-tests to AIHA. These test questions are solely for your own evaluation purposes. However, AIHA encourages you to let us know that you are using the test questions by mentioning this in your LRC monthly progress reports.
