Frequently Asked Questions
When should I send this training feedback survey?
Send it immediately after training completion, ideally within 24 hours while the experience is fresh. For longer programs, consider sending brief pulse surveys during training and a comprehensive one at the end.
What is the Kirkpatrick model for training evaluation?
The Kirkpatrick model evaluates training at four levels: Reaction (participant satisfaction), Learning (knowledge/skill acquired), Behavior (application on the job), and Results (business impact). This survey primarily measures Levels 1 and 2, with indicators for Level 3.
How do I measure training ROI?
Combine this feedback data with business metrics. Track skill ratings before/after, completion rates, job performance changes, and correlate with productivity metrics. The survey captures self-reported confidence and predicted behavior change as leading indicators.
Should I include trainer evaluation in the survey?
Yes, trainer evaluation is crucial for improving delivery quality. This template separates content feedback from trainer feedback, helping you identify whether issues are with material or presentation.
How can I improve training based on this feedback?
Analyze patterns in skill gaps, low-rated content areas, and open comments. Focus on topics where confidence gains are smallest. Use trainer ratings to identify coaching opportunities. Track trends across multiple training sessions.
