Professional training center of SBU has valuable experience in all of these areas. Employment analysis and training need assessment for the power industry, design education based on merit (competency-based training) for many organizations including the national oil company and parts of the Department of Housing and Urban Development are only parts of the experience of the center. The current portfolio contains about six thousand workshops and short courses that are mostly designed by faculties and teachers of the university.
Organizing workshops every year for about 20000 people makes the center the largest center for professional training in the country. Certainly, such a volume of training requires an accurate process and management systems. All training courses held by the center are assessed for effectiveness of training. The methodology for evaluating the impact is based on globally known Kirk Patrick’s model, which is applicable to combine with 360-degree assessment method, and is localized to form an instruction for courses and workshops held by the center. However, proper quality control of the education is not guaranteed because the process of evaluating starts after the end of the whole or part of the training. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the programs, the instruction acceptance criteria is developed and implemented by the center. Hence, all materials and training process including lesson plans, worksheets, Teachers, classroom and school environment, etc. must comply with the criteria and qualitative points of acceptance before applying.
