Evaluation
Evaluation refers to the initial collection of the expectations and wishes of the trainee before the STEP Traineeship begins and the subsequent collection of the final feedback from both the trainees and the TNPs.
Receiving evaluations is of crucial importance, since it is a way to ensure that STEP quality keeps on improving.
In addition to periodically evaluating the experiences of the Trainee and the TNP already during the traineeship, the Hosting Group should ensure that by the end of the traineeship both parties submit a detailed evaluation of their experiences.
Below you may find details of the different documents used in the Evaluation Process.
In order for trainees to receive a STEP Certificate, they need to submit both the Pre-TEF and Post-TEF
In order for Traineeship Providers to receive a STEP Certificate, they need to submit the EF.
Pre-Traineeship Evaluation Form (Pre-TEF)
The Pre-TEF is filled in and submitted by the trainees.
ELSA International is responsible for reminding the trainees about filling in the Pre-TEF.
Encourage the trainees to complete the evaluation by reminding them that they will receive a STEP Certificate from EI, and that good testimonials are published on the STEP website.
Post-Traineeship Evaluation Form (Post-TEF)
The Post-TEF is filled in and submitted by the trainees. The Post-TEF must be sent to the Trainee within three weeks of their completion of the STEP Traineeship.
The Hosting Group is responsible for reminding the trainees about filling in the Post-TEF.
Encourage the trainees to complete the evaluation by reminding them that they will receive a STEP Certificate from EI, and that good testimonials are published on the STEP website.
Evaluation Form for TNPs (EF)
The EF is filled in and submitted by the TNPs.
The Hosting Group is responsible for reminding the TNP about filling in the EF. It may be a good idea to arrange an evaluation meeting in person or over the phone during which the EF could be filled, and the question of continuing as a TNP in the future could be smoothly slipped in.
Encourage the TNP to complete the evaluation by reminding them that they will receive a Certificate of Appreciation from EI, and that good testimonials are published on the STEP website.
