EDPQS Toolkit 3

TRAINER self-reflection form

This form is for completion by trainers. The form will help you reflect on how the seminar went and identify anything that should be done differently next time you deliver this seminar. It can also help you to further develop your skills as a trainer.

The form should be completed immediately after or, if that is not possible, within 24 hours of conducting the seminar. If two or more trainers facilitated the seminar, it is suggested that the trainers discuss the issues raised on this form and complete the form together.

Completion of the form will take about 10-30 minutes.
