training validity

the success of a training program as judged by the performance of trainees on criteria that form part of the program. For example, the success of a program focusing on truck-driving skills might be evaluated on the basis of how well the trainees perform in driving a simulator used for instruction. This is to be distinguished from transfer validity, in which the program is evaluated on how well the trainees perform in the workplace after training (i.e., how well the trainee performs in driving real trucks on the job). See training evaluation.
