The Kirkpatrick model evaluates training on four levels, from immediate reaction to business impact.

  1. Reaction: did learners find it engaging and relevant?
  2. Learning: did they gain the knowledge or skill?
  3. Behavior: are they applying it on the job?
  4. Results: did it move business outcomes?

It is the most widely used evaluation framework; the real value sits at levels 3 and 4, where behavior change and results are proven.
