Evaluation of Training

Each training programme even when it is being planned, should have a provision  for evaluation. The question to be answered is -Is the training programme achieving the results it has set for itself ? 

The evaluation can be done at the following levels : 

1. Reaction Level :  Whether the participant had liked the programme or not. 
2. Learning Level :  Whether participant learnt the knowledge and skills intended. 
3. Job Behavior Level :  Whether the participant is able to apply the skills and  knowledge learnt at his work. 
4. Organisation Level :  Has there been any improvement in production, productivity and quality ? 

This can be done through questionnaires/interviews or personal observation of the individual himself, his superiors, his peers and his subordinates. All these methods have been discussed in the section on assessment of training need also.
