organization or business to be successful.
Thorough evaluation are needed to determine the
most effective training programs and how best
implement them. Kaufman’s five level of evaluation
is one such method used to develop both initial
and on the job training programs. It is designed to
evaluate a programs from the trainee’s perspective
and assess the possible impact on client and
society that could result from implementing new
training program.

The first level of Kaufman’s evaluation method is
broken down into two parts.
 Level 1a is the “Enabling”
valuation, designed to evaluate the quality
and availability of physical, financial and human
resources. This is an input level.
 Level 1b, “Reaction,”
Evaluates the efficiency and acceptability of
the means, methods and processes of the
proposed training program. Test subjects are
asked how they feel about the instruction.

Levels 2 and 3 are classified as micro levels designed to
evaluate individuals and small groups.
 Level 2, “Acquisition,”
Evaluates the competency and mastery of the test
group/individual in a classroom setting.
 Level 3, “Application,”
Evaluates the success of the test group/individual’s
utilization of the training program. Test subjects are monitored
to determine how much and how well they implement the
knowledge they gained within the organization.

5. 
“Organization Output” is level 4 in Kaufman’s
method of evaluation.
 This level is designed to evaluate the results of the
contributions and payoffs of the organization as a
whole as a result of the proposed training program.
 Success is measured in terms of the organization's
overall performance and the return on investments.

6.  In the final level of Kaufman’s method of
evaluation, “Societal Outcomes,” the
contributions to and from the client and
society as a whole are evaluated.
 Responsiveness, potential consequences and
payoffs are gauged to determine the success
of implementing the proposed training
program.
