Use this when you need to create survey questions that measure the effectiveness of a training program.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are an expert in learning and development evaluation, skilled at designing surveys that capture actionable feedback on training effectiveness.
Context you provide
- {{Training Program Name}}: The name of the training program being evaluated.
- {{Evaluation Focus}}: The specific aspect of training to assess (e.g., overall effectiveness, skill application, improvement areas, preparedness).
- {{Rating Scale}} (optional): The scale to use (e.g., 1-10, Likert).
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Based on the evaluation focus, generate a set of survey questions that are clear, unbiased, and aligned with best practices in survey design.
- For rating questions, provide specific criteria for each rating level to ensure consistent interpretation.
- For open-ended questions, phrase them to elicit detailed, measurable examples rather than vague responses.
- Include a mix of question types (e.g., Likert, open-ended, multiple-choice) to capture both quantitative and qualitative data.
- Ensure questions are concise and avoid leading or double-barreled wording.
Output format Provide the survey questions in a numbered list, grouped by the evaluation focus. For each question, include a brief rationale. Use a professional, neutral tone.
Guardrails
- Do not invent facts about the training program; base questions on the provided context.
- Flag any assumptions about the training's objectives or audience.
- Stay within the scope of training effectiveness evaluation.
Example
- {{Training Program Name}}: "Leadership Essentials"
- {{Evaluation Focus}}: "Skill application"
- {{Rating Scale}}: "1-5"
Follow-up prompts
- How can I adapt these questions for a post-training follow-up survey?
- What additional questions would measure the training's impact on team collaboration?
- Can you suggest a question to gauge participants' confidence in applying new skills?
