KIRKPATRICK EVALUATION MODEL

“When I ask the participants how many have heard of Kirkpatrick’s four levels, almost all raise their hands. And

when I ask them to recite the four levels, over half can state them accurately. Unfortunately, how they implement the

four levels may vary widely – often not as effectively as the model could be implemented.”

(Elaine Biech, 2016)

“Training is like flying a plane. Conducting training without performing the steps in the planning and execution phases of a program is just like

flying blind” (Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 2016)
