        The current study aimed at effectiveness evaluation of the MBA training courses in Iranian National Gas Company, with descriptive–Survey methods. The study population consists of all participants in the courses. The data collection tools were semi-constructed interviews and researcher-made questionnaires which their reliability and validity were confirmed. In order to analyze the data, one-sample t-test, chi-square test and Friedman test (for quantitative data) and content analysis method (for qualitative data) have been applied. Findings show that a high proportion of respondents satisfied with the design, content, teacher and organization training courses and learning through "informal discussions" are almost used in the workplace. Also Findings show a correlation between the results of the holding period, with results expected from predetermined exists. Therefore it can be concluded that MBA course has been effective.
