Pre-training skills self-assessment

Just before the course, each learner places themselves on the skills in your programme. The trainer knows where the group starts, and everyone can compare with the same self-assessment at the end of the course.

A self-assessment, not an exam

Learners say where they stand, with no mark and no right answer: it is less daunting than a test, and often enough to form groups and adjust the pace. The app does not compute a score: export the responses to CSV to see the group's level skill by skill.

Keep the dated answers in the session file: they show that you assessed learners before the course.

Measuring progress

At the end of the course, send a second form created from the same template: adapt the introduction, remove the questions about expectations and concerns, and keep exactly the same skill names. Comparing the two exports shows each learner's progress.

For a real knowledge test, there is no automatic marking or correction: this template sticks to self-assessment.

Personal data: the right habits

  • A self-assessment is not a performance review: do not use it to judge an employee in front of their employer.
  • Say in a Heading field who reads the answers and how long you keep them.
  • Responses are hosted in France, with OVHcloud.
