LERN's Remote Program Review
Take action. Improve performance.
One of LERN’s most popular consulting services is the Onsite Program Review, a comprehensive onsite assessment of your program.
More than 200 continuing education, lifelong learning, and recreation departments have benefited from an Onsite LERN Program Review.
Not every program requires an Onsite Program review, so LERN also administers a Remote Program Review. Using virtual technology, your LERN consultant learns about your successes, understands your challenges, and provides practical how-to recommendations and action steps.
A Remote Program Review Is Right for Your Program, If You:
- Do not presently have funds for an Onsite Program Review available but want to take advantage of LERN consulting services.
- Are a smaller program not requiring the time and resources of an Onsite Program Review.
- Want one unit, division or department of your program, such as contract training, summer camps, credit programming, or community education reviewed.
- Are under pressure to quickly justify to central administration the critical role your program plays.
- Are in immediate need of feedback regarding upcoming course programming, marketing, contract training, and/or operations actions you are planning to take.
Remote Program Reviews Are Customized
80 percent of what your program does is similar to all other programs, but 20 percent is unique due to your location, institution, staff mix, or other reasons. A Remote Program Review matches you with industry best practices, but also takes into consideration your uniqueness. All Remote Program Reviews follow the same process, but your LERN consultant’s analysis and recommendations are customized to your program.
How a Remote Program Review Works
Step 1: LERN provides your program a list of items, such as data, information and materials for you to submit at the beginning of the process.
Step 2: Using virtual technology, your LERN consultant visits your program. You and your LERN consultant determine the visit schedule.
Step 3: Within two weeks, using virtual technology, your LERN consultant presents a Remote Program Review Final Report PowerPoint Presentation, including an Action Plan. Your deliverable is the PowerPoint Presentation and a recording of the presentation.
Step 4: Going forward, by email and telephone you can ask your LERN consultant questions about the Final Report.
Remote Program Review Cost
The cost of a Remote Program Review is $5,950. Upon delivery of the Remote Program Review Final Report PowerPoint Presentation, LERN will invoice your program.
