Who this template is for

Training Evaluation Form is built for HR, people ops and hiring managers who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record.

  • HR, people ops and hiring managers working in human resources.
  • Teams who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are candidates and employees — the form asks them 22 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 6 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
  • It measures sentiment on a numeric scale.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “How was the session delivered?” is Virtual, the form dynamically exposes “How well did the platform work?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Would anything stop you applying this?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What would get in the way?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Would anything stop you applying this?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Should your manager be told?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Do you want follow-up training on this topic?” is Yes, “Your work email” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Most training feedback measures whether people enjoyed the room. This form measures whether anything moved. Attendees name the course, date and delivery format — classroom, virtual, blended or self-paced — and virtual sessions add a question about the platform, because a poor score there is a technology problem, not a trainer problem. The core block rates the content, the trainer's knowledge and delivery, the pace, the materials and how relevant the session was to the attendee's actual job. Then comes the pair that makes the data useful: a confidence rating before the session and after it, asked side by side, which gives you a shift figure instead of a satisfaction figure. Attendees commit to one thing they will do differently within thirty days and say what would stop them, and choosing that something would block them opens a field naming the blocker so their manager has something concrete to remove. A net promoter question and open comments close it out, and the whole thing exports into a per-course scorecard.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 4 conditional rules, grouped into 3 behaviours driven by 3 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “How was the session delivered?

  • Reveals questions

    If “How was the session delivered?” is Virtual, the form reveals “How well did the platform work?”.

Driven by “Would anything stop you applying this?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Would anything stop you applying this?” is Yes, the form reveals “What would get in the way?” and “Should your manager be told?”.

Driven by “Do you want follow-up training on this topic?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Do you want follow-up training on this topic?” is Yes, “Your work email” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Send it while people are still in the room

    Response rates halve overnight. Share the link or QR code in the final five minutes rather than the next morning.

  2. 2

    Keep the two confidence questions adjacent

    Asking before and after on the same screen is what produces a usable shift number; splitting them across pages weakens the comparison.

  3. 3

    Route blockers to managers

    Add a notification for responses that name a blocker so the manager hears about it while the training is still fresh.

  4. 4

    Build a per-course scorecard

    Export by course title and track the average shift and recommendation score across cohorts — that is your evidence for keeping or cutting a course.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Only asking whether people enjoyed it, which never shows whether behaviour changed.
  • Running it anonymously and then asking for follow-up training, so nobody can be contacted.
  • Changing the rating questions each time, which makes cohorts impossible to compare.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Publish the course scorecard to the L&D dashboard, action the named blockers with managers, and re-survey at 30 days for anyone who asked for follow-up.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the training evaluation form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Privacy & compliance

This form holds employee or applicant data. Route it to a named HR mailbox rather than a shared inbox, and keep the audit trail on so you can show who viewed each response.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a Kirkpatrick Level 1 form?

It covers Level 1 reaction and reaches into Level 2 learning through the before-and-after confidence pair and the 30-day commitment. Levels 3 and 4 need a follow-up survey later.

Should training feedback be anonymous?

Anonymous gets you honesty about the trainer; named gets you follow-up. This form keeps the email optional so you get both, and only requires it when someone asks for more training.

How do I compare trainers fairly?

Keep the rating wording fixed, filter by delivery format, and read platform scores separately — otherwise a bad virtual connection drags down a good trainer's average.

Can I use it for compliance training?

Yes, alongside a knowledge check. Pair it with the Compliance Training Assessment so you keep both the reaction data and the pass record an auditor asks for.

Is the Training Evaluation Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Training Evaluation Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Training Evaluation Form template ask for?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.
