– Updating training materials to ensure clarity and relevance.
– Modifying the structure or length of the session to better suit participant needs.
– Improving trainer preparation or support.
– Addressing any logistical issues raised by participants.

4. Follow-Up:
Participants may receive a follow-up communication thanking them for their feedback and informing them of any changes or improvements made based on their input.
