Training Evaluation Forms

Hi Sion, just a couple of questions if I may: what type of training are we talking about? Soft skills? IT? Health and safety? What has prompted the review within your organisation? What is the objective? What is not being achieved through your evaluation forms currently? Presumably you're hoping to design some suitable 'happy sheets' immediately after training?
Also, you may like to check out a copy of Francis and Roland Bee's book "Learning needs analysis and evaluation" as I found it very useful when designing effective evaluation forms.

The book mentioned by Clare Marie probably underlines that 'happy sheets' compiled in the warm glow of the day of the event might and often do differ very markedly from evaluation responses made some time after the event, in the cold light of hindsight / reality as regards the extent to which the participants were able to put it to use in their own workplaces

You are correct David, I have come across that section within the book outlining that there should be an evaluation further down the line by either the learner or their direct manager on how beneficial the training has proven to be.

Thanks for your insight.
