What provides immediate feedback from students at the end of training?

A post course survey is designed specifically to gather immediate feedback from students regarding their training experience. This tool allows participants to express their opinions about the course content, delivery, and overall effectiveness while the experience is still fresh in their minds. Post course surveys typically include specific questions that can cover various aspects of the training, ranging from satisfaction with the instruction to suggestions for improvement.

This immediate feedback is crucial for instructors and organizations to assess the training's impact and make necessary adjustments for future sessions. In contrast, an end-of-course exam primarily assesses the knowledge and skills acquired rather than gathering feedback on the training experience itself. A verbal debrief may also facilitate discussion but may not capture a wide range of feedback systematically, and instructor evaluations are usually focused on the performance of the instructors rather than the overall training experience provided to the students.
