Training Evaluation Forms
About Training Evaluation Forms
Training evaluation forms are structured documents used to collect feedback and measure outcomes after a training session, workshop, course, or onboarding program. They help organizations assess training effectiveness, instructor performance, content clarity, and learner satisfaction in a consistent way. Training evaluation forms are commonly used by HR, L&D teams, schools, corporate trainers, and program coordinators for onboarding evaluations, workshop feedback, certification programs, and internal skill training. By standardizing evaluation data, these forms make it easier to improve training content, identify skill gaps, and track program quality over time.
With Jotform, training evaluation forms can be created quickly using a no-code, drag-and-drop Form Builder and customized for different training formats. Conditional logic can show follow-up questions based on ratings, and submissions are stored in Jotform Tables so teams can filter results by session, trainer, department, or cohort. Automated notifications can alert stakeholders when feedback indicates issues, while autoresponders can confirm submission to participants.
