4 key parts for a great training evaluation

  1. Effectiveness

    Effectiveness is a critical part when you measure the performance of a training program. It is also the most important aspect when it comes to creating a training evaluation survey. This part of the survey asks if the “What’s In It For Me?” question was answered

  2. Comprehension

    The comprehension aspect of a training evaluation survey refers to the effectiveness of the course delivery. This section asks questions about the way the course content was delivered.

  3. Attractiveness

    The course’s overall look and feel is also an integral part of a training evaluation survey. This is a critical part, particularly in a digital learning environment, because it tells you if your interface, learning environments, and multimedia resources are appealing and user-friendly.

  4. Engagement

    No one wants to just be a passenger in their own learning; student engagement must be a priority for course or training. Implement interactivity and quiz-elements into your evaluation to increase engagement of your attendees and to make the course content stick around longer.

A training evaluation offers tons of benefits, both in a business and school environment. Not only for students but for trainers and course materials as well. And today it’s incredibly easy to make training evaluations that are easy to take and easy to analyze.

Training evaluation format

As can be seen in the above sample, the training evaluation is advised to include the following elements:

  • bullet orange

    Person name and contact details (E-mail)

  • bullet orange

    Name course

  • bullet orange

    Training date & time opinion

  • bullet orange

    Overall satisfaction

  • bullet orange

    Accommodation satisfaction

  • bullet orange

    Sleek or engaging design

  • bullet orange

    Personal training history (have you done this training before?)

It is important that the evaluation results can be recorded efficiently and that they are automatically transferred to a central system where they can be analyzed, exported or stored: mobile devices such as a tablet or smartphone are ideally suited for this task. Training evaluation through paper forms, PDF or Word documents is also possible but has the disadvantage that the data still needs to be transferred to a central system as a separate action, which is error-prone and not real-time.
