Here is your opportunity to be accredited as an evaluation professional by the master and orginator of the Four Levels of Evaluating Training, Don Kirkpatrick and his certified team from SMR Group.

This programe is based on Don's time-tested four levels (Reaction, Learning, Behaviour, Results) model. You will learn how to apply the four levels to your evaluation needs, and use proven methods to enhance learning and results, and encourage new behaviors. This will allow you to effectively meet the ever increasing need to demonstrate the value of your training to management.

Books by Don and son, Jim will be used in the program. This includes Jim's new book, Transferring Learning to Behavior: Using the Four Levels to Improve Performance (Berrett-Koehler, 2005). Jim Kirkpatrick, the Global Head of SMR's Training Evaluation practice and team of researchers have identified and worked on global best practices to develop a powerful business partnership model.

This model when applied can demonstrate the value of your training efforts in a holistic way rather than an isolated manner.
