Course overview

The Kirkpatrick Evaluation programme has helped thousands of organisations become more efficient and improve their business performance by applying the New World Kirkpatrick methodology in the right way.
What does the Kirkpatrick Four Levels® Evaluation Certification Programme consist of during COVID-19?
Like all our other programmes, we are taking the necessary precautions during the current crisis and have moved all Kirkpatrick programmes online until further notice.
The Kirkpatrick Bronze online program currently comprises of five online sessions facilitated live by Kirkpatrick Certified Facilitators. Each session is approximately 2 hours 30 mins long.
During this program, you will learn the four levels, receive a downloadable participant manual filled with examples and templates that you may borrow and adapt to build your own Blended Evaluation Plan® tools and gain a complete understanding of what each level measures. You will also explore the reasons why evaluation is critical to training success and hear case studies and success stories from companies that have used the model effectively. You will learn tactics to help you to allocate training resources effectively. A focus of this program is the exploration of how to ensure that what has learned transfers to on-the-job behaviours. You will learn why training alone is not enough and receive guidance to ensure that what you teach actually gets used on the job.

Testimonials

Lesley BlowerKirkpatrick Evaluation"When we started our workshop training, I already had a basic knowledge about evaluation and the Kirkpatrick model, however, I was eager to learn more about the new model of ROE. The sessions were very interactive and practical, with hands-on experience of how to apply the learning in context with my specific work area. For me, the light bulb moment was the realisation that you start at L4 identify your desired results and leading indicators to measure if you’re on track and design your training to reflect that outcome. Following the training, ‘Nelly’ emails started to arrive daily and I thought I’d feel anxious about being tested – but the opposite is true! I enjoy the ‘Nelly challenge’ and am surprised at just how competitive I am with myself, to improve my score month by month! I use the results to highlight my weakness and focus my development in those areas, by refreshing my knowledge using materials from the Kirkpatrick training and sharing best practice with my peer group."

Kirkpatrick Evaluation"Loved the 2 days- thank you! Plenty to take away and put into good use immediately, more confidence in having conversations around evaluation with my clients. I will be recommending this to my clients as I’d like them to understand this and for us to be speaking the same language."

FAQ
If I want to become Kirkpatrick Certified, do I need to complete the bronze, silver and gold levels?
No. You can obtain just bronze level certification; thousands of professionals have done this worldwide and successfully applied their knowledge. Upgrading to silver and gold level certification is always an option at any point in the future.
Do I need to complete bronze level certification to be eligible to attend silver level certification?
Yes. The bronze level programme is a prerequisite for silver-level certification. The silver level programme incorporates work that is completed at the bronze level and builds upon this.
