The training course on how to write formal assessments was very valuable and a lot of fun.

It was good to get a better understanding of the theory of testing in terms of validity, reliability and fairness and the introduction to item analysis was very useful.

I never knew that there were so many things you need to consider when it comes to test design!”

It was helpful to look at common mistakes because I think we have all made these kinds of errors.

I enjoyed taking the end of workshop quiz.  It showed that we had learnt a lot!

Various workshop participants

Human Resource Trainers

I really thought that building a survey was the easiest thing in the world. Having done the survey training with Anthro, I now realise there is so much more to it. Our trainer highlighted the many mistakes you can make when writing survey questions that I wasn’t even aware of. She also showed us all the common mistakes survey designers make, which can really compromise your results.

There was so much useful information in this workshop from how to start planning a survey, to how long it should be, and how to make sense of the results. What I like most is how they made us think about our survey from back to front, first really giving thought to what outcome we were after, and then reverse engineering from there. So clever.

I would highly recommend this training to anyone that builds, administers, and analyzes surveys and/or questionnaires on behalf of their organization.
