Collecting data in a pretest and posttest design allows us to see what has changed after training, which can help us evaluate the effectiveness of the training. While it may also help us identify if revisions need to be made and measure cost effectiveness, these are secondary benefits to the primary purpose of evaluating the impact of the training itself. Being certain that the training caused any change is not entirely possible with only pretest-posttest data, as there may be external factors that influence the results.
