Easy Steps to Customize the AidaForm Workshop Feedback Questionnaire
Every experienced workshop participant expects to get a workshop satisfaction survey at the end of the training session. There, people are usually asked to describe their impressions of the past workshop. This survey form has many names: ‘Workshop Feedback Form’, ‘Workshop Feedback Survey’, ‘Workshop Feedback Questionnaire’. However, the purpose is generally the same: to assess the quality of the workshop and adjust the program if necessary. That is also an opportunity for the students to express their opinion about the quality of the training. Therefore, it is very important to adapt any workshop feedback template to your topics and specifics.

How to Make Your Post-Workshop Survey Template Effective
Keep it short
When creating the workshop satisfaction survey, it is important not to get carried away and check how long it takes to complete the form. If you plan to share the feedback form for workshop participants immediately after the session, we recommend to:
- ask how students feel at the moment or what they think about the workshop they have just attended.
- avoid asking anything too complicated – your participants must be tired after the session.
- avoid subjects that take a long time to think about.
- avoid open questions where possible. Let participants choose one of the suggested options. This way, it is easier for the participants to answer and for you to process their answers.
If you want your workshop feedback questionnaires to get completed, respect the participants’ time. Ask for just enough feedback without trying the patience of your respondents.
Be clear and precise
Workshop feedback surveys often contain poorly or incorrectly formulated inquiries.
The most common mistakes when asking questions are:
- being too vague. If people can interpret your words in multiple ways, their answers will be unreliable at best.
- incorrect wording. A logical fallacy or a missing noun may leave your respondents puzzled. They won’t be able to answer if they cannot understand what you’re asking.
People should be able to easily understand your questions after skim-reading them. Keep sentences short and concise and be as clear as possible. If it takes time to understand what you’re asking, you’re doing something wrong.
Generate leads
The feedback form for workshop participants can be excellent for lead generation at public workshops. You can also offer to generate leads for partners and sponsors. For example, you may ask: “Would you like us to contact you and tell you more about the apps used during the workshop?” And it works!
Gain marketing insights
If you are conducting an open public workshop, ask how and where participants found out about your event. That’ll help you choose the most effective marketing channels to promote your next project. Another important thing to ask in the workshop feedback survey is when participants decided to participate in your event. Knowing how your target audience makes decisions will help you plan future advertising campaigns.
Although the feedback form is not a catch-all tool for workshop evaluation, you can use it to its full potential if you follow our tips below.
- Set specific goals for your workshop feedback questionnaire – keep in mind what you want to measure in your post-workshop survey to decide which questions you want to include.
- Your workshop feedback form should be designed not only to collect feedback about the quality of the workshop but also to gather data about the participants and identify future touchpoints for interactions with your business.
- The data you collect can and should be used to correct existing and develop new workshop programs.
