One purpose of the article is to stimulate public employees to take penetrating look at evaluation of training. The quality and effectiveness of the existing and future training programs depends to a large extent on their ability to evaluate and apply the results. The second objective is to present the meaning and advantages of the new evaluation system, introduced by the Administrative Academy. By breaking the evaluation down into reaction, learning, behaviour, and results, the training professionals, personnel specialists and top management can begin to do something about it and can gradually progress from a simple subjective reaction to a comprehensive design that measures tangible results which are the basis for planning the training within public administration.
