Test your training

Validate that training stuck.

Quizzes measure recall. Simulations measure real-world decision making under pressure. A live session proves competence.

Maximize your training ROI by identifying who can apply the training and what needs reinforcement. Per-person evidence your leadership team can actually use.

Completion ≠ competence

Where training quietly fails.

01

Maximize your training investment

Prove your training translates into operational capability, decision making and real-world execution.

02

Completion rates can be misleading

Employees may pass a quiz but still struggle to apply the training in practice. Simulations expose the difference immediately.

03

Validate competence continuously

Keep training fresh with recurring simulations that reinforce behavior, identify gaps and generate evidence leadership can actually use.

LMS vs live

Completion tells you they showed up. A live test tells you they're ready.

Annual training proves the cohort attended. A live test proves the individuals can act when it matters. Both have a place. Only one stands up to a board asking "are we covered?"
The old way

The standard practice · LMS completion tracking

  • Module assigned, completion logged in the LMS
  • Annual refresh cycle, same content, same quiz
  • Retraining sent to the cohort, not the individuals who need it
  • Managers see completion percentages, not behavior evidence
With Handrails

With Handrails · Live training test

  • Plausible scenario built from the module content
  • Named participants pressed for the call in real time
  • Per-person findings and specific retraining targets
  • Audit-ready evidence that training was tested in practice
What we'll test

The training you've already delivered, under real conditions.

Share the module content. Holly builds a scenario around the decisions it teaches and runs the cohort live.

AI use & AI governance training

You rolled out the AI use policy training across the org. An engineer pastes a customer contract into ChatGPT. Detection, escalation, manager response, client-notification call. Did the training actually change behavior, or just check a box?

Incident response training

Put named on-call engineers, legal and exec through a real-feeling incident and see what broke.

Leadership decision-making under pressure

A senior leader gets a media call mid-incident. Holding statement, escalation, board notification, customer comms. The leadership training said all of this; this is where it gets tested.

Fraud & AML scenarios

See whether frontline staff actually follow the SAR or escalation workflow when a transaction looks off.

How a training test runs

From training completion to proven capability.

Holly turns your training content into realistic scenarios that show how people actually apply what they learned.

Employees apply it in practice

Holly runs live scenario-based sessions that test how people respond in realistic situations. See who understands the material, who hesitates and where reinforcement is needed.

Per-person competence logComplete

Measure competence, not completion

Generate per-person insights, coaching opportunities and audit-ready evidence that the training was understood and applied in practice.

What you walk away with

Per-person competence, not a completion rate.

Per-person competence log

A record of how each named participant actually performed: detection, escalation, decision-making.

Retraining target list

Named individuals, named gaps. Send them exactly what they need, not another blanket module.

Re-test scheduling

The same cohort can be re-tested six months later with the same scenario to prove the fix took.

Board-ready evidence

Signed, audit-ready proof that training was tested in practice, not just assigned and marked complete.

Run this if you...

Good fit if you...

Have rolled out AI use, IR or leadership training and want to know it stuck
Spend six figures on training and report completion but nothing on behavior
Had an incident where trained people froze or made the wrong call
Need named-participant evidence for an auditor, regulator or insurer

Prove the training stuck.
