Evaluation using the four levels of Kirkpatrick’s model A meaningful evaluation of the learning via a steering group Level one: Happy sheets ‘are completed following individual speakers and feedback forms gather subjective personal reactions to the learning experience. The learning sets also enable individuals to discuss their feelings with their peers. We have 98% High satisfaction rate of the training Level two: Demonstrate an increase in knowledge and intellectual capability from before to after the learning experience through reflective case studies. All of the students who have submitted have passed the Diploma. Level three: Examines the extent of the learned behaviour and the capability for personal improvement and the implementation or application of what they have learned. This is scoped through reflective practice during the programme. Level four: Finally the overall results are evaluated and disseminated to demonstrate the effects on primary care through the performance and outputs of the primary care mental health workers. The course provides primary care workers with 50 credits, equivalent to a whole years revalidation. A course handbook lets applicants clearly see the learning outcomes desired from them.
