Writing Workshop Feedback Forms: 3 Templates

When it comes to your audience, opinions matter. But while they may have many thoughts about their experience in your workshop, it often takes a little nudge before you can really use those insights!

Collecting participant feedback is a brilliant way to spot patterns, potential improvements, and identify inadequacies in your program or delivery.

A great feedback form makes that quick and simple, but how do you create one?

Feedback Forms For Your Training Workshop

As with any form, a really great feedback form is one that will yield useful insights about the different elements of your workshop.

If you’re delivering training as a leader, instructor, coach, or therapist, there are a few aspects worth exploring.

Consider the following elements, as a start:

Instruction or teaching: How satisfied are your participants with your teaching style? How could it be improved?
Facilitation (in group settings such as team coaching): How effectively did you facilitate the workshop? Did participants feel included?
Materials or content: Were your resources/materials helpful? Were they too easy, too hard, or just right?
Program design: Did the materials flow in a logical order? Were there a good number of steps? Was each step delivered at an appropriate interval?
Class/cohort: Was the cohort a good size for participants? Did they have a chance to help each other?
Relationship/communication: Did you answer questions effectively?
Overall experience: How satisfied were they overall? Would they recommend your workshop to their colleagues or peers?

These different aspects can all be explored by dividing your form into sections. But first, you’ll need to tailor your questions to your particular audience and goals.

If you prefer to work with a ready-made layout, there are great templates in Quenza’s Expansion Library that you can modify, to name a few:

7 Sample Questions You Can Include

Just as there are no ‘right answers’ on a feedback form, there aren’t any magic questions you should be asking.

The best way to develop items for your form is by working backward.

Think about the most constructive information you could have at hand when you sit down to improve your workshop, and design neutral questions that help you capture those insights.

Think about the most constructive information you could have at hand when you sit down to improve your workshop, and design neutral questions that help you capture those insights.

If you’re looking for some guidance, you might start by tweaking these workshop feedback form sample questions:[1]

What is your overall assessment of the event? (on a Likert scale of 1-5, insufficient to excellent)
Did the workshop achieve the program objectives? (Yes/No)
Which topics or aspects of the workshop did you find most interesting or useful? (You can experiment with multiple-choice/drop-down menu formats using Quenza’s Activity Builder)
How do you think the workshop could have been made more effective?

A few more examples can be found in Quenza’s Effectiveness of Session Evaluation Expansion, pictured below.

Quenza’s Effectiveness of Session Evaluation contains ready-made questions you can adapt to evaluate your workshop.

While designed for post-session evaluations in one-on-one, this customizable template includes items that can easily be modified to assess your workshop or learning module:

I felt heard, understood, and respected. (Agree = 1, Strongly Disagree = 5)
We worked on and talked about what I wanted to work on and talk about.
The coach’s approach is a good fit for me.

Best Way To Make and Send Feedback Forms

Once you’ve decided on the questions you’d like to ask, the next step is to create a survey or questionnaire that participants will want to fill out.

Using Quenza’s Activity Builder, you can put together a form by titling and saving a blank template.

Then, you can create sections for your various fields using Page Breaks and drag various fields from the right-hand menu into your template.

Among other fields, tour Activity Builder contains everything you need to create:

Text boxes for questions
Short- or long-answer items
Drop-down menus
Multiple-choice questions
Checkboxes, and
Linear scales.

As we’ll see in a second, it’s not a bad idea to personalize your form by uploading your custom logo and multimedia!

Sending Your Forms To Participants

If you’re running a group workshop using Quenza Groups, you can send your forms as an Activity to all your participants at once.

This is a fast, convenient way to collect opinions from everyone, and also helps you explore the effect of any changes you make from one workshop to the next.

You can do this either by sending your form as a standalone activity, or inserting it into a Pathway as a final step, as shown below.

Asking For Evaluation with Quenza: An Example

Not sure how to ask for feedback? Here are a few helpful tips:

It’s always worth giving your clients a little background into why you’re asking for their thoughts. Quenza Activities always come with a pre-made email template for your participants–this is a great place to share that you’re trying to improve your solutions.
Your participants don’t have to fill out your form. This means you’ll want to create a form that’s as concise as possible, while capturing everything you need to enhance your workshop.
Deliver your form as soon as possible. This way, you can collect their insights while they’re top-of-mind, giving you plenty of time to plan or implement your improvements.
Make your form engaging. Short and sweet is good, but you can also improve completion rates by personalizing your form with images, video, and other multimedia. Get creative, and you may get more feedback!
