The instructor, instructional content, level of learning experience and overall satisfaction with the training experience are evaluated. This feedback is critical to ensure that the College is delivering services as required by the employer. With over 5,000 evaluations received each year, the College consistently receives ratings of over 4.5 on a 5 point scale in each category evaluated. Maintaining this level of satisfaction is critical to the continued growth of the number of BIS customers served. In addition, the employer is polled at the completion of the contracted training event to determine the level of customer service experienced, the overall value of the training as well as if the employer would employ the College again for future training. Similar to participant satisfaction, employers consistently rate the results of FVTC s training and technical assistance efforts over 4.5 on a 5 point scale. An essential indicator of employer satisfaction is the key rating of Would Contract Again. Here FVTC has maintained a rating of 4.5 or higher for three straight years. In addition, the Overall Satisfied measure of 4.7, a key measure of anticipated future activity, maintained its 4.7 rank from the last two years. This metric incorporates not only the instructional delivery, but the level of support received by the client from their initial FVTC contact through the billing of the services provided. 5
