I attended a course at a local commercial learning & development centre yesterday and commented on the blandness of their evaluation sheet. So I was (not unreasonably) asked to put my money where my mouth is.
The centre runs a wide range of short 'courses', mainly for employed people - with the overall objective of improving business performance.
Evaluation is my main area of interest so I have some basic principles in mind. But why reinvent the wheel totally? If anyone could point me at some existing good practice, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Mike Ellison

Participant Evaluation Questionnaires
I have a short article about PE Questionnaires in Adobe PDF format that includes a model questionnaire form.
It won’t solve all of your problem, but might be useful to you. Please download from:

Wrong Web Address
Mr Henry’s web address is slightly wrong; he’s added an ‘l’, it should read:

Thanks and comments
Thanks Gary & Robin – just what I was looking for and they’ll be a great help when working with this customer’.
Just a personal observation however, my experence is that questions which start “How much” tend to get a better response than those starting “What”. So I’ll be doing some adaptions.
