Training Case Study
In a case study with an academic partner, our education and training resulted in a significant increase in awareness and confidence.
Awareness Improvements
Before the training, nearly one-third of the participants (31.6%) had low awareness, with only a small fraction (5.3%) demonstrating very high awareness.
Post-training, very high awareness increased dramatically (26.7%), while low awareness also dropped significantly (6.7%).
Confidence Surge
Confidence is key to effective participation and application of knowledge. Training not only informed but also empowered attendees with confidence levels surging.
The proportion of highly confident participants more than doubled, rising from 20% to 46.7%.
Those with no confidence dropped dramatically from 35% to just 6.7%.
85% of attendees reported an overall increase in confidence, proving the program’s ability to foster self-assurance and competence.
