The Kirkpatrick Model

The Kirkpatrick Model is the standard for leveraging and validating talent investments.

The four levels of evaluation — Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results — form the time – tested and most trusted method of designing, implementing, and evaluating training that produces bottom-line value and organizational mission accomplishment.
