Evaluating Training Programs: The Four Levels

Jane Holcum, Ph.D., ON-Target Training
Don Kirkpatrick set the standard in training evaluation in 1959, and ever since, dedicated training professionals have used his Four Levels model for evaluating the impact of their work. Evaluating Training Programs finally makes these ideas available in an easy-to-use reference guide.

The tools, techniques, and case studies this book includes will help trainers add rigor and discipline to this often neglected aspect of training work. I'm delighted to recommend this book as a valuable resource.
