The validity of instruments was obtained through content validity. Reliability of the questionnaires of participant satisfaction was measured using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and its coefficient was 0.97. The reliability of learning test was measured using editors’ reliability which was 0/88. The reliability of the selfevaluation questionnaires was measured with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and its coefficient was 0.89. The data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and covariance uni-variate. The results showed that implementation of Knowles Andragogical Model increased participant satisfaction and their learning. The results of the self-evaluations showed that managers assessed their learning at a desirable level. This confirmed that implementing the Knowles Andragogical Model improved the effectiveness of managers training.
