The Kirkpatrick Model is one of the most well-known frameworks for evaluating training effectiveness, but many L&D professionals only have a surface-level understanding of what it actually measures. This session provides a brief, no-nonsense introduction to the model, outlining its four levels—Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results—and how they are used to assess training impact.
You’ll learn what each level represents, the kind of data typically collected, and common challenges in applying the model. While this session won’t cover in-depth implementation, it will give you a clear understanding of the Kirkpatrick framework, why it remains widely used, and how it fits into the bigger picture of learning evaluation. Whether you’re new to training evaluation or just need a refresher, this quick overview will get you up to speed without the jargon.
