Training evaluation survey questions

Evaluating a training course as people leave the room mostly measures the trainer's likeability — the famous “happy sheet” everyone rates 4/5 while packing up. A useful evaluation separates the levels: immediate satisfaction, yes, but above all attainment of the stated learning objectives and perceived applicability — does the participant know precisely what they will do differently on Monday morning?

The generated outline follows that logic, inspired by the Kirkpatrick model: participation screening, attainment of each stated objective on Likert scales, theory-practice balance, concrete applicability to the job, then open questions on what was missing and what will be applied first. Follow up at D+30 with a mini-survey on actual application: that is what justifies the training budget.

Frequently asked questions

What questions evaluate a training course properly?
Attainment of each stated learning objective (Likert), theory-practice balance, facilitation quality, applicability to the job (“what will you apply first?” as an open question) and recommendation to a colleague. Avoid a lone global rating: it steers nothing.
Evaluate hot or cold?
Both: hot for pedagogy and logistics (same day), cold at D+30 for actual application — “what have you put into practice?”. The gap between hot intention and cold application is the most honest indicator of effectiveness.
What is the Kirkpatrick model?
Four evaluation levels: reaction (satisfaction), learning (skills acquired), behaviour (application on the job) and results (business impact). A hot survey covers the first two; this generator structures the questions accordingly.
