(Herndon, Virginia USA, January 26, 2019)The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), a global, non-profit leader in continuing education and training standards, announced its partnership with Kirkpatrick Partners to help promote quality learning evaluation.

IACET CEO, Joe McClary said,“IACET partnered with Kirkpatrick Partners because IACET wants to
promote quality learning evaluation. In today’s competitive learning environments where training is often the first thing on the budgetary chopping block, organizations that do not effectively evaluate their learning programs will have a difficult time sustaining themselves. IACET accredits quality learning organizations. Learning organizations will not know what quality and effective continuing education and training is unless they evaluate properly.”
Jim Kirkpatrick, co-owner of Kirkpatrick Partners, said, “Our partnership with IACET is a natural fit. IACET helps organizations to ensure that their training produces tangible outcomes. Kirkpatrick is all about ensuring that training leads to performance and measurable organizational results. We are pleased to formally announce our alliance.”

The ANSI/IACET 1-2018 Standard for Continuing Education and Training requires learning programs be properly evaluated which makes the partnership with Kirkpatrickall the more relevant.
