Narrative:

Departure from ads. I am the captain on a king air 300. I had a copilot flying. We were given a climb from 2000 ft to 3000 ft. I made normal calls (500 ft to go, altitude in box and preselected). I was reviewing the departure. When I looked up, the copilot was at 3300 ft. I immediately told him to descend. The controller gave us the altimeter and I read it back to him. My lack of watching the copilot and his inexperience were contributing factors. The controller made no other comments.
