As of 13 August 2026, AI can create a training feedback survey.

What to actually do

1. Do it yourself

   The route this page recommends

   A chat interface, no skill needed, and roughly 15 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a blank document and record the training name, audience, learning objectives, delivery method, duration and the decision the feedback will inform.
   2. Confirm with the person responsible for the training whether responses will be anonymous or confidential, who can access them, how long they will be kept and whether participation is voluntary.
   3. Paste the recorded details into the prompt and replace each bracketed slot before sending it to a chatbot.
   4. Copy the drafted introduction and questions into your chosen survey platform, keeping one consistent labelled rating scale and marking optional questions as optional.
   5. Compare every question against the training objectives and remove questions that are leading, double-barrelled, repetitive or unrelated to the training.
   6. Ask a colleague who understands the training to test the survey from a participant's perspective and check that every question can be answered from the training experience.
   7. Replace the bracketed privacy wording with the arrangement confirmed by your organisation, then send a test response and check that access, result visibility and export settings work as intended.

   Prompt

   Create a training feedback survey for [audience] who completed [training name or topic]. The training aimed to help people [learning objectives]. It was delivered by [delivery method] over [duration]. We need feedback to decide [how the results will be used].
   
   Write:
   1. A short, neutral introduction explaining the purpose, expected completion time without inventing a number, whether responses are anonymous or confidential, and how the results will be used. Leave a bracketed instruction where I need to confirm the actual privacy arrangement.
   2. No more than 12 main questions, grouped into useful sections.
   3. A mix of rating-scale, multiple-choice and optional free-text questions. Use the same rating scale where possible and label every point clearly.
   4. Questions covering relevance, clarity, confidence applying the learning, delivery, materials, accessibility and what should change.
   5. One question that tests the training objectives directly rather than asking only whether people enjoyed it.
   6. A final optional comment question.
   
   Use plain UK English. Avoid leading, double-barrelled, repetitive or intrusive questions. Do not ask for names, health information, protected characteristics or other personal data unless it is essential and clearly justified. Do not claim that responses are anonymous unless that is confirmed. Mark any decision I must make before publishing in square brackets. After the survey, provide a short checklist of choices I must confirm before sending it, including audience, response deadline, privacy wording, access, data retention and who can see the results.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Hand it to a person

   The distant third

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.
