Therefore, to prepare them well, the Ministry of Education continually invest resource on the capacity building of these on-serving archivists.In order to enhance the quality of human resources in archives management and to understand the effectiveness of the training program offered, this study applied the Kirkpatrick 4- level evaluation theorem as the theoretical framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program. This study adopted the quantitative method and invited trainees attending the training courses to answer the questionnaire delivered to them. While conducting quantitative analysis, 540 respondents were asked to answer the questionnaire following a standard procedure. After collecting the questionnaires and discarding the invalid ones, 290 valid responses remained for further data analysis. The valid response rate is 53.7%. The SPSS 10 is used for data analysis. The methods applied for analysis include factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test analysis, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The research results are revealed as following: 1. The demographic variables of trainees have impact on their perception toward the features of the training program. And the difference among different groups in the same demographic variable has reached the statistically significant level. 2. The demographic variables of trainees have impact on their perception toward the effectiveness of the training program. And the difference among different groups in the same demographic variable has reached the statistically significant level. 3. There is statistically significant association between the features and the effectiveness of the training program.Based on the research findings mentioned above, for reference of related competency agencies, two main suggestions reveal as following: 1. curriculum design The curriculum organizer should consider taking into account the following subjects including service quality, coordination ability and communication capacity.
