All 8 Training Evaluation Questions
Eight questions covering the Kirkpatrick Level 1 and Level 2 evaluation dimensions most predictive of training transfer. Question 6 — confidence in applying what was learned — is the single question most correlated with actual knowledge transfer back into the workplace. Organisations that add a 30-60 day follow-up using this same question see whether that confidence translated into behaviour change, which is the metric L&D leaders need to defend the training budget.
The Kirkpatrick Model — What You're Measuring
The Kirkpatrick model is the gold standard for training effectiveness evaluation. This template is designed to measure Level 1 (Reaction) and provide leading indicators for Level 2 (Learning) — the two dimensions you can measure immediately after a training session. The data tells you what to fix before the next cohort runs, and what to keep.
Run this survey immediately after training for Levels 1 and 2. Re-run the same survey at 30 and 60 days, focusing only on Question 6, to track whether confidence translated to application. The delta between "Day 0 confidence" and "Day 60 application" is your training ROI evidence.
