Kirkpatrick Four LevelsTM Evaluation Certification Program - Bronze Level
During this course you will learn the Kirkpatrick Model, receive a participant manual filled with examples and templates that you may borrow and adapt to build your own tools, and gain a complete understanding of what each level measures. You will also explore the reasons why evaluation is critical to training success. Case studies and success stories from companies that have used the model effectively will be highlighted. You will also learn the Kirkpatrick Decision-Making Model for effective training resource allocation.
A unique feature of this course is the exploration of how to ensure that what is learned transfers to on-the-job behaviors. You will learn why training alone is not enough, and receive guidance to make sure that what you teach actually gets used on the job.
To finish the course you will create an evaluation plan based on one of your own programs and submit it for grading and personalized comments. With a passing grade you will become Kirkpatrick Certified.
After this session, you will be able to:
- Objectively determine where to allocate training resources to create the most business impact;
- Create an effective program evaluation plan that maximizes business results and minimizes resources employed;
- Define the critical difference between effective training and training effectiveness;
- Evaluate programs using appropriate Kirkpatrick tools;
