baseline assessments

Baseline assessments are initial evaluations used to understand an individual's current skills, health, or situation before starting a new program or treatment. They serve as a reference point to measure progress over time. For example, a health check-up determines your current health status, or a skill assessment identifies what you already know before training begins. These assessments help professionals tailor their approaches and track improvements accurately. Essentially, they provide a clear starting point, ensuring that any changes or gains can be clearly identified and measured later.
