Course description
Are you looking to join thousands of L&D professionals and line managers that have gained the internationally recognised Kirkpatrick Certifications?
DPG offer both open and in-house programmes, where there are 6 or more people. You can rest assured the in-house programme is both cost and time efficient, with the facilitator attending your chosen location to minimise disruption and time away from the office. The content can also be tailored to your individual organisation’s needs.
“When we started our workshop training, I already had a basic knowledge about evaluation and the Kirkpatrick model, however I was eager to learn more about the new model of ROE. The sessions were very interactive and practical, with hands on experience of how to apply the learning in context with my specific work area. For me, the light bulb moment was the realisation that you start at L4 identify your desired results and leading indicators to measure if you’re on track, and design your training to reflect that outcome.
Following the training, ‘Nelly’ emails started to arrive daily and I thought I’d feel anxious of being tested – but the opposite is true! I enjoy the ‘Nelly challenge’ and am surprised at just how competitive I am with myself, to improve my score month by month! I use the results to highlight my weakness and focus my development in those areas, by refreshing my knowledge using materials from the Kirkpatrick training and sharing best practice with my peer group.” Lesley Blower, Learning Resource Manager, npower
