Participant Reaction (Level One)

This information is collected immediately following the training.

Questions asked at Level 1 are targeting how a learner feels about the training. This may include questions about the meeting location or how well the content and activities were received. These are all opinion related questions based on their feelings of being at the training.

Sample questions:

  • What did you like best about your training experience today?
  • On a scale of 1-5, how well organized was this training?
  • On a scale of 1-5, how helpful were the handouts?
  • On a scale of 1-5, how effective was your trainer?
  • Would you recommend this training to a colleague?

Methods:

The best methods for this level could be a rating scale, yes/no questions or even some open-ended questions. You get more usable information asking a simple open-ended question than a yes/no question.

For example, Are you satisfied with the support materials vs. What did you like about the support materials? Did you enjoy the training session vs. What did you most enjoy about this training session?
