UNIT 5/OBJECTIVE #4
Specific Objective #4: Describe Level 3: Behavior Evaluation.
CONTENT: mEThODOlOgy:
Level 3 Behavior Evaluation
Level 3 evaluation answers the question,
“How has the training affected the way
participants perform their jobs?” But
Level 3 evaluations can be both time
consuming and costly.
Purpose of Level 3 Evaluation
The purpose of level 3, or behavior
evaluation, is to:
N Evaluate what happens to trainees
after they leave training and return to
their jobs;
N See how much transfer of knowledge,
skills, and attitudes has occurred;
N Measure the lasting results from
training;
N Identify areas in which trainees show
greatest and least improvement; and
N Compare follow-up and end-of
program responses.
In summary, level 3 evaluation measures
what change in job behavior occurred
because people attended the training
program.
Guidelines for Level 3 Behavior
Evaluation
N Allow time for behavior change to
take place.
Trainer Presentation (30 min.):

N Discuss level 3 evaluation.
N Explain that competency-based
