What should a training feedback form ask?

A good training feedback form is short and asks about things you can change. We suggest five questions: an overall rating of the session on a 5-point scale, how useful the content will be in their work, a rating of the trainer, a ranking of the topics from most to least useful, and a one-word answer to “How do you feel now?” shown as a word cloud. In QG Playground, open this training feedback form template, change what you need, and run it live in the last two minutes of the session, while everyone is still in the room, so nearly everyone answers. People join with a room code and a nickname, which makes the feedback more honest, and the averages appear on the big screen as they answer. Rating and ranking questions need a paid plan; the word cloud works on every plan, including Free. The report keeps every answer for later.

Questions people ask

Can't find it? The help centre has step-by-step answers.

Should I collect feedback live or after the session?
Live, in the last two minutes, gets the most answers. Rating and word cloud questions run in live sessions; scheduled quizzes don't support them.
Can I ask open questions?
Use a word cloud for short answers of up to 30 characters. It shows the most common answers largest on the screen.
Is the feedback anonymous?
Players join with a nickname, so answers aren't tied to names unless you switch on data collection, which is on Pro Plus.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. The template opens in your editor, so you can rename, remove or add questions before you run it.
What are good post-training feedback questions?
Ask about things you can change: the session overall, how useful it will be at work, the trainer, which topics mattered most, and how people feel now.
