This program describes the major elements of the Kirkpatrick Four Levels^TM Evaluation Model that Dr. Don Kirkpatrick developed over 50 years ago. It begins with a summary of the ten requirements of an effective program. It then explains the four levels through use of a pre- and post-quiz, evaluation forms, case studies, and colorful illustrations from Kirkpatrick’s own work. Based on the book by the same name, this is a great introductory course and a valuable refresher, all delivered by the legend that originally developed the concepts.

Kirkpatrick Partners is a provider of training evaluation and business partnership training, products, consulting, and impact studies. Our work is based on the Kirkpatrick Four Levels^TM Evaluation Model created by Donald L. Kirkpatrick in 1954 as part of his PhD dissertation on the evaluation of the effectiveness of training for supervisors. It is expanded by the Kirkpatrick Business Partnership Model^TM and Kirkpatrick Foundational Principles.

Instead of training ROI, we focus on training Return on Expectations (ROE). This is a more holistic measurement of all of the benefits realized from a program or initiative, qualitative and quantitative. We offer courses and workshops on training evaluation and business partnership that equip training professionals to create, demonstrate, and measure the business results and value their training yields or supports.

Donald (Don), James (Jim), and Wendy Kirkpatrick are pleased to be united as Kirkpatrick Partners. Whether you want to earn your Kirkpatrick certification or simply create more value in your organization, we are here to help. Our programs are valuable whether you are a corporate employee, member of government, or an independent consultant.

The Kirkpatricks are the authors of nine books including Evaluating Training Programs, Implementing the Four Levels, Transferring Learning to Results, Kirkpatrick Then and Now, and Training on Trial.
