Long description
This infographic explains the various levels of outcome evaluation for training. They are listed from Level 5 at the top to Level 1 at the bottom. Each successive level depends on the level before it. From the bottom up, that is, from the most basic level upward, the levels of outcome analysis are listed and explained as follows:
- Level 1: Reaction. This level analyzes whether the learners enjoyed the training.
- Level 2: Learning. This level analyzes whether transfer of learning occurred.
- Level 3: Behavior. This level analyzes whether the training changed the behavior.
- Level 4: Results. This level analyzes whether the training influenced performance.
- Level 5: Return on Investment, or R O I. This level analyzes whether the investment supported business gains.
Post-training surveys and evaluations involve simple and straightforward questions that help the trainer understand how effective the training session is to the trainee. Asking questions based on the topics covered in the training program helps determine its effectiveness and sustainability.
