How do you evaluate a training program? The Kirkpatrick's model has been used often since the 1960s. However, this model is way too old, states Dr. Will Thalheimer. It results in a checklist approach to evaluation and because of that it misses the true purpose. For the modern world he designed the Learning-Transfer Evaluation Model (LTEM), which states that training has only been successful when the participant applies the learned material in their behavior. Thalheimer identifies eight levels with which organizations evaluate their training programs, half of which are inadequate. Discover on what level you evaluate your training!
