The current portfolio contains about six thousand workshops and short courses that are mostly designed by faculty and teachers of the university. Organizing workshops every year for about 20000 people makes the center the largest center for professional training in country. Certainly, such a volume of training requires an accurate process and management systems. All training courses held by the center are assessed for effectiveness of training. The methodology for evaluating the impact is based on globally known Kirk Patrick’s model, which is applicable to combine with 360-degree assessment method, and is localized to form an instruction for courses and workshops held by the center. However, proper quality control of the education is not guaranteed because the process of evaluating starts after the end of the whole or parts of the training. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of programs, the instruction acceptance criteria is developed and implemented by the center. Hence all materials and training process including lesson plans, worksheets, Teachers, classroom and school environment etc. must comply with the criteria and qualitative points of acceptance before applying.
