CCT Training Evaluation and Measurement 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Training Evaluation Model measures training at which four levels?
- Cost, time, quality, and satisfaction
- Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results (Correct answer)
- Input, process, output, and outcome
- Design, development, delivery, and deployment
Correct answer: Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results
Kirkpatrick's model evaluates training at the Reaction, Learning, Behavior (transfer), and Results (business impact) levels.
Question 2: Level 1 of Kirkpatrick's model is most commonly measured using:
- Pre- and post-tests
- End-of-course participant satisfaction surveys (smile sheets) (Correct answer)
- 360-degree performance reviews
- Return-on-investment calculations
Correct answer: End-of-course participant satisfaction surveys (smile sheets)
Level 1 (Reaction) captures how participants felt about the training experience, typically through immediate post-training surveys.
Question 3: Level 2 of Kirkpatrick's model assesses:
- Learner satisfaction with the training environment
- Whether participants actually acquired knowledge, skills, or attitudes (Correct answer)
- Business metrics like revenue or error rates
- Whether supervisors observed changed behavior
Correct answer: Whether participants actually acquired knowledge, skills, or attitudes
Level 2 (Learning) uses tests, simulations, or demonstrations to verify that learning objectives were actually achieved.
Question 4: Which level of Kirkpatrick's model is the most difficult to measure and requires the longest follow-up period?
- Level 1 — Reaction
- Level 2 — Learning
- Level 3 — Behavior (Correct answer)
- Level 4 — Results
Correct answer: Level 3 — Behavior
Level 3 (Behavior) requires observing on-the-job application weeks or months after training, making it logistically complex to measure.
Question 5: The Phillips ROI Methodology adds which fifth level to Kirkpatrick's model?
- Engagement
- Return on Investment (ROI) (Correct answer)
- Sustainability
- Alignment
Correct answer: Return on Investment (ROI)
Jack Phillips extended Kirkpatrick's model by adding Level 5: ROI, which compares the monetary benefits of training against its costs.
Question 6: A control group in training evaluation is used to:
- Manage disruptive participants during training
- Compare outcomes between those who received training and those who did not (Correct answer)
- Control the room temperature and environment
- Limit the number of participants in each session
Correct answer: Compare outcomes between those who received training and those who did not
A control group isolates the effect of training by providing a baseline of what happens without the intervention.
