Evaluation form template for trainings and events
A ready-made evaluation form template for the end of a training, a workshop or an event: eight questions and a thank-you screen that keep how the content landed apart from how it was delivered. Clone it, add your session names, put the link on your last slide. Every part of it is on the free plan.
Free plan, no card. Unlimited forms and unlimited responses, forever.

What's inside
Two ratings, a relevance check, two open answers
The form scores the session and the person who ran it separately. Here is the facilitator question as an attendee sees it.
3 →
How would you rate the facilitator?
Clarity, pace and how questions were handled. 1 is poor, 5 is excellent.
A Rating question set to five points, one of 21 types and free on every plan. The question before it is a Star Rating, so the two scores look different on screen and the second is harder to answer on autopilot. See how conversational forms behave on a phone.

Thank You
Most people answer seven questions: number 8 appears only after a No, and number 5 is skipped for anyone who found the session irrelevant. The Thank You screen is pinned last and can redirect to your slides or your next dates. Swap any question type, add your own, or drag the order around.
Before you hand it out
How to run a training evaluation people finish
An evaluation form has one job: tell you whether a session is worth repeating as it is, and what to change if it is not. That takes a handful of honest answers from most of the room, not a thorough study from the three people who stayed late.
Evaluate the session, not the attendee
The phrase evaluation form covers two different things. This template is the first kind: attendees judge a training, a workshop, a conference talk or a whole event. The second kind, a manager judging an employee, needs different questions, a named reviewer and a private process, and the performance review form template is built for that. An attendee who suspects the form is really about them answers carefully rather than honestly, which is also why this one asks for no name and no email.
Hand it out before people leave the room
Timing decides your response rate more than wording does. Put the link on the final slide, with a QR code made from it, and give the last five minutes of the session to it. For a conference or a program that runs over several days, send one event evaluation form per day rather than one at the end, while each session is still distinct. If you have to send it afterwards, send it the same day inside the message that already carries the slides, and follow up once at most. If you run sign-ups in Upform too, the event registration form template covers the other end, and event registration shows how the two fit together.
Score the content and the delivery separately
Question 2 rates the session and question 3 rates the facilitator, and the split is the point. A strong trainer can carry weak material; one combined score hides which of the two to fix. Relevance is a three-way choice instead of a third number, because "Partly relevant" tells you more about who was in the room than a 3 out of 5 would. Rating scale questions covers when a wider scale earns its place.
Ask for one useful thing and one change
Two open questions, both specific. "What was the most useful thing you took away?" gets a concrete answer where "Any comments?" gets a blank. "What is one thing we should change?" limits it to one, which makes people name the thing that actually bothered them. The Yes/No after it is the bluntest measure on the form: would they come back. A No opens one optional follow-up, and those answers are worth reading first. For a course that runs over weeks, the course feedback form template asks about the whole course rather than one sitting.
Get the averages from your sheet
Upform has no scoring or calculation engine, so it will not average the ratings or add up a score for you. Every answer lands in the responses table, which exports to CSV, and the Google Sheets integration appends each response as a new row. From there it is ordinary spreadsheet work: AVERAGE on the star rating column for the session score, the same on the facilitator column, AVERAGEIF against the session column to compare sessions, and COUNTIF on the Yes/No column, divided by the number of rows, for the share who would come back.

The logic that ships with the evaluation form
Two rules ship switched on, in the same Logic panel every form uses: a flat list of rules, each one AND or OR over its conditions, 20 operators and four actions (show, hide, jump and end form).
Conditional Logic
2 rules configured
Rule Summary
When Would you come to another session? is exactly "No" → Show field: What would change your mind?
Rule 1, open. Rule 2 jumps anyone who picked "Not relevant to my work" on question 4 straight to "What is one thing we should change?", past a question they would only answer with "nothing".
8 →
What would change your mind?
Optional. A different time, a different level, a shorter format: anything goes.
Only the people who said they would not come back see this screen, and it is optional, so it never costs you a completion.
Edit either rule or add your own. Single Choice and Yes/No questions take is exactly, is any of and is none of; the Star Rating and the Rating take equals, greater than and less than. The full operator table is on the conditional logic page.
After the submit
Where the evaluations land
Every submission lands in the table for that form, with search, a date filter, CSV export and a drawer holding one attendee's full answer set. Then send it where the averages get worked out.

EducationFrequently asked questions
Is this evaluation form template free?
Yes. Cloning it, publishing it and collecting answers all sit on the Upform free plan, which is permanent, not a trial. Responses are unlimited, so a workshop of 12 and a conference of 2,000 cost the same. Pro, at $12 a month, removes the Upform branding and the storage cap and allows up to five team members.
Does Upform calculate average scores for me?
No. Upform has no scoring or calculation engine, so it will not average the ratings or total a score for you. Export the responses as CSV, or send each one to Google Sheets through the integration, and one AVERAGE formula per rating column gives you the numbers. The Results panel in Upform covers views, starts, completion rate and average completion time.
What should a training evaluation form include?
Which session someone attended, an overall rating, a separate rating for the facilitator, how relevant the content was to their work, the most useful thing they took away and one thing to change. That is enough to judge the content and the delivery separately. Add a question only if someone will act on the answers.
When should I send an event evaluation form?
Before people leave. Put the link on the last slide, with a QR code made from it, and give the final five minutes of the session to it. For an event that runs over several days, send one form per day rather than one at the end, while each session is still distinct in people's heads.
Are the answers anonymous?
The template asks for no name and no email, so answers are not tied to a person unless you add a Full Name or Email question. People rate a facilitator more honestly when they are not signing their name to it. If you need to follow up with low scorers, add an optional Email question and say why you are asking.
Is this the same as an employee evaluation form?
No. This template evaluates a session: attendees rate a training, a workshop or an event. An employee evaluation, where a manager reviews one person's work, needs different questions and a different process, and the performance review form template is built for that.
