BTSF strategies- State of play -
Future cost-effectiveness study
•State of play‒ Included in the 2015 financial decision‒ Contract to be signed in December 2015‒ To be performed by Food Chain Evaluation Consortium (FCEC)
•Objectives‒ Cost-effectiveness study of the current training model (+ key
performance indicators and robust cost /benefit model)‒ SWOT analysis of different training strategies in order to see how
best the objectives of BTSF can be achieved by which model.
•Duration: 12 months
Performance indicators• Legal basisnew Common Financial Framework for Food and
Feed (Reg. (EU) No 652/2014)
• Current criteriaQuantitative:
= Participation (>6000 participants per year)= critical mass
Qualitative: = Participants satisfaction scoring (>80%)
= Learners' satisfaction
Performance indicators
• New indicatorsLearning: pre- and post- tests on knowledge
= Did the learners learn the content?
Impact on work practices questionnaire= How did the learners apply the information?
Dissemination: questionnaire= How and to whom did the learners
disseminate?
