Tailor a form specifically for each program. Avoid generic forms. Participants will respond accordingly. Keep the form simple and to one page. Make the form visually attractive.
Fewer categories are better than more.
Ratings are impressions, not calibrated measurements. Ten categories afford no more accuracy than four. Include several open ended questions asking participants to make comments or suggestions. Provide time for the participants to complete the form before the training ends. Identify the program, trainer and date at the top of each survey.
