One of the key benefits available to EvaluationZone subscribers is the option to attend a monthly specialist workshop on one of the key topics within evaluation.

January's session on calculating a Return On Investment gave TrainingZONE members a chance to try out the feature with host Paul Kearns, who'll be offering his expert advice and guidance over the coming months, tailoring it to the specific needs of members. All workshop sessions will take place on the first Friday of each month over lunchtime.
