Evaluating training courses?

Many companies organise training courses, toolbox meetings, safety training and mandatory refresher courses, but still evaluate them through loose Word documents, Google/Microsoft Forms, Excel files or paper forms. As a result, feedback stays scattered and it's hard to know:

  • whether the training course was relevant;
  • whether the trainer scored well;
  • whether employees can apply the content;
  • which training courses need to be scheduled again;
  • where the improvement points are for external trainers;
  • whether you've done what's needed in terms of compliance.

💡 With Smart Lions, you link evaluation forms directly to your training courses.

After a training course, you send participants a digital evaluation form. The answers are automatically collected under the right training course, employee and trainer. That way you build not only a training history, but also a quality picture of your training policy.

Why Smart Lions over my current Forms solution?

  • To start with: every feature you use today is also available in Smart Lions - so you certainly won't be taking a step back!
  • The biggest win? Automatically sending out evaluation forms after every scheduled training course. We doubt you're pulling that off today.
  • Training courses are diverse: external vs in-company training, formal vs informal training, legally required vs nice-to-have training: there is no one-size-fits-all evaluation form.
  • Use our library of built-in templates to put a suitable evaluation form to work in a single click.
  • Most recipients don't complete an evaluation form right away. So have automatic reminders sent to employees who haven't completed their evaluation form yet.
  • And finally: want the evaluation form filled in while everyone is still in the training room? We've got the built-in QR solution for that too!

How many training days are you legally required to provide?

From twenty employees, every full-time employee is federally entitled to at least five training days per year (this was still four days in 2023); with ten to nineteen employees, a federal minimum of one training day per year per full-time employee applies, and below ten employees federal law imposes no minimum. These are the federal minimum rules: the actual number depends on your joint committee (paritair comité), because sectoral collective agreements (cao's) may deviate from them. If an employee works part-time, the number of days is calculated pro rata. This individual training right was introduced by the law of 3 October 2022 (the 2022 labour deal, or Arbeidsdeal) and is separate from, but closely linked to, the obligation to draw up an annual training plan.If an employee does not use all of their training days in a given year, they are not lost: they carry over to the next year as training credit. That credit runs in fixed five-year periods, though — the first from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2028 — and at the end of each period every employee's balance is reset to zero collectively. Both formal training (courses and training sessions with an instructor) and informal learning (coaching, self-study, onboarding by a colleague) count, as long as they are work-related — wellbeing training also qualifies.In this guide you will read, per company size, how many days you must provide, what happens to unused days, when sectoral collective agreements deviate, and how this right relates to the training plan and the announced individual learning account.

The mandatory training plan: what must you do as an employer?

Does your company have 20 or more employees? Then, since the 2022 labour deal (Arbeidsdeal, the law of 3 October 2022), you are required to draw up an annual training plan, adopted by 31 March at the latest. The plan lists the formal and informal training you plan to provide that year, with specific attention to shortage occupations, the gender dimension and at-risk groups. You first discuss the draft with the works council or trade union delegation, and then file the final plan with the FPS Employment (FOD Werkgelegenheid).The precise content requirements follow from the royal decree of 14 July 2024. Employers with fewer than 20 employees are exempt from this formal planning obligation. In this guide you will see who the obligation applies to, which deadlines you must meet, what exactly the plan must contain and how to organise the consultation correctly.
