* Dates and timings are subject to change, please check directly with the awards organisers.
The 2026 Assessment and Evaluation application for Training Industry's Top Training Companies closes on 18 November 2026 at 23:59 EST (New York). Applications do not open until 4 November 2026, so use the time before opening to prepare your evidence.
This deadline is for Assessment and Evaluation, not every list in the programme. Check the official category page rather than relying on a date for another training specialism.
Check That Your Offering Fits
The organiser invites providers of assessment and evaluation solutions across the corporate learning and development lifecycle. Examples include leadership and talent assessments, skills and competency diagnostics, behavioural and personality assessments, pre- and post-training evaluations, and learning impact and ROI measurement frameworks.
Solutions can be delivered through digital platforms, managed services or integrated analytics tools. Providers of all sizes are encouraged to apply.
Run in the right race. If your strongest evidence concerns a different training service, do not force it into this application simply because the deadline is approaching.
Show What Your Assessments Change
The published selection criteria cover:
- Scope and quality of assessment capabilities and evaluation techniques.
- Market presence, brand visibility, innovation and impact.
- Strength of the client portfolio and customer relationships.
- Business performance and growth trajectory.
The preparation guidance asks you to gather your assessment types, measurement methodologies, delivery format and how results are reported and used.
Go beyond describing a tool. Explain the problem it helped a client understand, the decision that followed and the result. Pair measurable outcomes with a specific example or testimonial, with permission to share it. That is how a capability becomes evidence of impact.
Put These Dates in Your Plan
- Applications open: 4 November 2026.
- Applications close: 18 November 2026, 23:59 EST (New York).
- Results: the Top 20 and Watch List Assessment and Evaluation Companies are due to be announced on 17 December 2026.
Before applications open, agree who owns the submission and collect the evidence. Once the form is available, check its current questions and requirements, draft your answers and leave time for an independent review. Prepare now; submit during the published application window, not before it.
