When measuring ROI for certification/training programmes in digital-transformation settings, I found the most effective metrics include pre/post assessments of key skills, behaviour-change checkpoints at 30- to 90-day intervals, and business KPIs (e.g., faster time-to-market, fewer defects, lower audit findings). For the training itself (for example via professional training and certifications offered at Advised Skills), I ensured translation into changed behaviour by embedding applied work-assignments, peer coaching post-course, and regular governance reviews. These steps tied learning outcomes to real team actions rather than just exam results.

Excellent approach! Your method ties learning directly to performance impact. Embedding applied assignments and peer coaching strengthens retention, while periodic checkpoints ensure measurable progress beyond certifications—a truly outcome-driven training strategy.
