"The Kirkpatrick training sessions were immensely enjoyable. As a model, I can see that it offers a powerful approach to achieving change through training. When applied to a health care context, it offers the potential to achieve focused improvements in quality and safety of service provision, while contributing to staff and organisational culture development."

"As an educator and curriculum consultant, I know that course objectives drive curriculum design. The Kirkpatricks also believe that 'the end is the beginning' of curriculum design and evaluation. However, the Kirkpatricks take a unique and highly effective approach to the setting and measurement of course outcomes. In a word, my Kirkpatrick studies have been 'enlightening.' For this reason, I highly recommend training in the Kirkpatrick method to anyone involved in course delivery or faculty professional development."

"It is critical to be able to communicate the strategic value that a training program adds to your organization. The Silver Level Certification program prepares you to successfully execute an evaluation program. One of the strongest components of the program is the peer interaction."

“At first it was a challenge to get the training sponsor (Operations Director) to see why he needed a clear vision of what success would look like and how to measure it. When he realized that this was no more than good business behavior, not only did he set some clear objectives for the training but as a function L&D gained valuable credibility and an acknowledgement that L&D did understand business and commercial issues as well as training.”

"The Silver certificate programme was extremely beneficial in the understanding of the framework that we need to consider to gain true linkage from the learning interventions we provide and how they are threaded into the Organizational objectives, using such tools as Leading indicators as stepping stones to the success of the programme."

"Though familiar with the Kirkpatrick levels as an industry standard, completing the bronze and silver certification has helped me truly see the value that this model can bring to my training programs. With training budgets shrinking all around, the ability to 'prove' that your course is valuable to your institution is a program saver. The Kirkpatrick Partners have remained accessible for advice when roadblocks appear and I have no doubt that the application of their principles is making my programs better with each assessment."

"Finally a structured way to present our project and demonstrate impact and ROI/ROE through evaluation that works. It was great to link the business and the learning and development team and align the goals. The delivery of quality service to the patient can only be enhanced by NEAS staff through a change in behavior and that is what we strive to achieve with our performance review project. The project is ongoing but with the skills and support from Kirkpatrick we continue to evaluate its success and learn from others achievements and best practice."

"Working with Jim Kirkpatrick has been a true learning experience. Jim’s insight into training evaluation has vastly improved my ability to assess training’s impact at the enterprise level, which is exactly what my clients want. I strongly recommend this training to all analysts conducting training assessments. Jim’s emphasis on Levels’ 3 and 4 regarding assessing training’s impact on the organization’s mission/service delivery combined with the attention to detail regarding appropriate data sourcing for the assessment is spot on!"

"The introduction of a defined methodology to plan and execute a defined set of activities, with a specific goal in mind -- in this case the elimination of a costly operational problem at the Maryland Transit Authority -- proves the value of gathering evidence throughout the training cycle, then applying what is learned to measuring goal achievement. The effects in terms of organizational buy-in to this process not only solved the problem, but resulted in increased credibility for the training organization."

The knowledge gained from the experience enhanced our evaluation plans, particularly in the area of building business partnerships within the organization for ensuring consistency in messaging, providing feedback to training participants regarding skills applied on the job, and reinforcing training objectives outside of the training environment. The Kirkpatrick Model has provided us a useful and practical framework for obtaining information needed for enhancing training and improving application of skills on the job without negatively impacting the organization or the training event itself."
