Abstract
There are many different methods of training evaluation, which need to be classified and placed within an overall framework. There have been several typologies, among them, the CIKO (Context, Input, reaction and Output) classification of warn, Bird and Rackham, and Hesseling's typology based on by whome evaluation is a ne and for whom it is intended, are more commonly used. Given in Diagram 1 is the classification by Bamblin which supplements these two. In order to evaluate Training we must collect information about the changes that have been caused by the training. To do this systematically, we must identify the effects of a training programme and the sequence in which these occur.
Description
Training evaluation helps assess the effectiveness of a programme by tracking changes from reaction to final outcomes. Frameworks like Bamblin's chain (Reaction → Learning → Behavior → Impact → Value) and the CIRO model (Context, Input, Reaction, Output) guide systematic evaluation. The process ensures learning is applied and benefits both individuals and the organization. It also informs future improvements by identifying gaps and measuring outcomes at each level.
