BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: A Kirkpatrick-Certified Evaluation Platform!

Kirkpatrick Partners, the exclusive provider of the Kirkpatrick Four Levels® of Evaluation and a global leader in training evaluation, is excited to announce a strategic alliance with the Institute for Transfer Effectiveness (ITE) and trevato, a leading learning technology provider.

This powerful partnership combines decades of research, field-tested methodology, and modern digital infrastructure to help organizations achieve what learning programs have always promised—real behavior change and measurable business results.

Bridging the Gap Between Learning and Performance

In today’s fast-paced workplace, simply delivering training is no longer enough. Organizations need their learning programs to lead to meaningful on-the-job performance and prove their value to the business. This new partnership addresses that need by integrating three leading frameworks into one unified, actionable system:

  • The Kirkpatrick Four Levels® of Evaluation, the world’s most trusted methodology for measuring training effectiveness

  • The 12 Levers of Transfer Effectiveness from ITE, a science-based model for driving behavior change after training

  • trevato’s intelligent learning platform, built to reinforce learning and track real-time application in the workplace

Together, these solutions empower learning and development (L&D) teams to design programs that are both strategic and measurable from the start.

“This partnership reflects our continued commitment to helping organizations not only measure the impact of training but also ensure that it delivers meaningful, lasting change,” said Vanessa Milara Alzate, Owner and CEO of Kirkpatrick Partners. “By aligning evaluation, transfer, and technology, we are raising the standard for learning and performance—centering business results and behavior change over smiley sheets and pre- and post-tests.”

What This Means for Organizations

Through this collaboration, organizations will gain access to tools and strategies that enable them to:

  • 🎯 Align learning programs with business goals and the metrics that matter most

  • 🔁 Integrate transfer and evaluation into a unified, sustainable workflow

  • 📊 Access real-time dashboards with actionable data and built-in support to interpret results
