Kirkpatrick Four Levels® Evaluation Certification Program – Gold Level

Achieving Kirkpatrick Gold Program certification is a fantastic way for professionals to share what they’ve accomplished by applying The Kirkpatrick Model to their programs.

Not only does the certification earn you the recognition you deserve, but it’s a unique opportunity for professionals who are passionate about making a positive impact in the world of training and development within their own organizations and beyond.

At Kirkpatrick Partners, we understand that challenging widespread misconceptions about the value of training is a team effort. That’s why we’ve teamed up with a global network of business partnership “ambassadors” working together to transform these beliefs. The Gold Program is open to those who have attained Kirkpatrick Silver Program certification. This exciting opportunity involves sharing your program evaluation process, results, or best practices in a way that supports other training and business professionals. Together, we can make a positive impact!

Here are a few examples:

  • Getting an article published in a trade magazine
  • Sharing your insights at a trade event or with an audience outside of your organization
  • Having a case example included in a book, journal, or white paper

FAQ

Can I obtain the Kirkpatrick Certified status without taking the program?

Unfortunately, no. Like any degree or credential, completing the program is the key to proudly calling yourself Kirkpatrick Certified.

Do I need to complete bronze and silver level certification to be eligible for gold?

Yes. Only graduates of the Silver Program are eligible to pursue Gold Program certification.

Does attending these programs certify me to teach the Kirkpatrick methodology?

Not quite. Attending these programs won’t turn you into a certified Kirkpatrick methodology teacher. What they will do is certify you to use the licensed Kirkpatrick templates and materials within your own organization. If you belong to a larger organization of 100 or more people, we also offer a train-the-trainer program to train internally.
