SESSION PLAN |

Session 1 |
Feedback of training |
1 hour 30 min |
It is important that participants give their own assessment of the training programme, both in writing and verbally so that trainers can evaluate its effectiveness. Use the feedback form in the handout for the written assessment.
A written assessment makes it easier for participants to be critical without offending anyone.
Verbal feedback allows people to express both positive and negative feelings that they might not have included in the written assessment.
The participants must assess both the content and methodology of the training programme.
The feedback form should have enough blank space so that participants can write questions, suggestions or comments.
After collecting the completed feedback forms from the participants, invite them to verbally share their feelings and make suggestions for improvement.
Listen carefully to negative feedback and check with participants how the training can be improved next time.
When participants indicate that some subjects are more useful than others, plan for more training on such subjects.
When participants find it difficult to understand some topics, plan for refresher training courses.
Conclude the training programme and session with acknowledgements to all those who helped to make it successful and offering your best wishes to the participants for success in their business ventures.
