This before and after survey template measures how much a program moves the needle by asking respondents to rate the same statements twice, once for how they were before and once for how they are after. The paired before and after columns make change visible at a glance and easy to analyze.

What this survey measures

Each statement captures a before and an after rating on the same scale, so you can measure the shift in confidence, knowledge, and skills. A likelihood-to-recommend question and two open questions add an overall score and the reasons behind the change.

How to use it on paper

Hand it out at the end of a training, workshop, or course. Respondents cross one box on the before side and one on the after side of each row with a blue or black pen. Scan the completed forms and PaperSurvey reads both ratings, so you can compare before and after results without manual data entry.

Customize this template

Replace the statements with the outcomes you care about, add or remove rows, and change the rating scale. The paired before and after layout is built in, so the whole grid adjusts as you edit.
