Post-Training Feedback Form Template (Free PDF)
Use this post training feedback form to find out what your learners really took from a session, and what to change before the next one. It works for in-person, virtual and hybrid training, and takes learners about two minutes to complete.
It is made for training managers, trainers, L&D teams and training providers. Page one is the form for learners. Page two is a simple guide for you on reading the results and acting on them.
A Brief on the eBook
Many feedback forms are too long, ask about the wrong things, and then sit in a folder. Learners tick “great” to be polite, and nothing changes.
This form is short on purpose. Nine questions cover what matters most: whether the content was relevant, whether the session kept people involved, whether they had enough practice, how clear the trainer was, whether the room or platform worked, and the pace. One question asks how able learners are to use what they learned at work, because that is the real test of a session.
The second page shows you how to count the answers, which result to read first, how to sort comments into keep, fix and drop, and how to turn feedback into up to three changes you can track. It also reminds you to tell learners what you changed, which builds trust.
Take a Quick Look Inside
Who Should Use This Form
Trainers, training coordinators, L&D teams and training providers who run live sessions and want feedback they can actually use.
Nine Short Questions
Five statements rated from strongly disagree to strongly agree, a pace question, a "how able are you to apply this" question, and two open questions in the learner's own words.
Works In the Room and Online
The same form works for in-person, virtual and hybrid sessions. Learners tick how they attended, so you can compare the two groups.
A Results Table You Can Fill In
Count answers for each question and work out the share of learners who chose the top two options. No spreadsheet needed.
How to Read the Results
Start with the question about applying learning at work, then look at the lowest score rather than the average. A note explains why scores tend to lean positive and how to allow for it.
Turn Feedback Into Action
Pick up to three changes, name an owner and a date, and send learners a short "you told us, we changed" message.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a post training feedback form include?
Keep it short. Ask about relevance, how engaging the session was, the practice and trainer clarity, the room or platform, and how able learners are to use what they learned. Add one or two open questions.
How many questions should a training feedback form have?
Fewer is better. This form has nine and takes about two minutes. Ask only what you will use.
When should I give out the feedback form?
In the last ten minutes of the session, or share the link before the session closes. Forms sent afterwards are easy to forget.
What should I do with the results?
Read the question about applying learning first, look at the lowest scores and the comments, choose up to three changes, and tell learners what you changed. A few weeks later, ask some learners whether they are using what they learned.
Is the template really free?
Yes. There is no cost. We ask for your name and email so we can send it to you.
