The purpose of the study is to find out how T&D specialists understand management training evaluat ion, what evaluation criteria and evaluation methods used in the service sector enterprises in Latvia. Essential management training evaluation criteria are defined: applicability of the acquired knowledge, introduction of the obtained competences to work and changes in the work results after training. The main managers training evaluation problems are detected: lack of trainee motivation, limited time, low quality of the training service, discrepancy of price and quality, lack of top management support, difficulties to define training goals and outcomes. Experts admit that the complicatedness of the theoretical training evaluation models and they doubt the usefulness of evaluation by levels.
