Kirkpatrick evaluation scorecard template

The Kirkpatrick model evaluates training at four levels: reaction, learning, behaviour and results. This example scores a first-line manager programme for 40 managers, with what is measured at each level, the actual result against a target shown as a progress bar, where the data comes from and the action to take where a level falls short.
