ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
To overcome obstacles faced by small scale dairy processors (SSDPs) in Serbia, a training program was implemented. Two phases of training evaluation (reaction and learning) were conducted. A demographic breakdown showed that it was difficult to achieve gender and educational projections. Reaction evaluation demonstrated the highest satisfaction with the overall quality of the training. The main concern was related to the training duration, which led to plans for e-learning training. It was recognised that it is difficult to attract young people, women and participants with low level of education.
