Apprenticeship questions that show who is on track to finish
Ask apprentices how the program is going, from their mentor and the work to pay and what comes next. Each question below comes with when to ask it and what the answer tells you.
What apprenticeship feedback survey questions tell you
Apprenticeship feedback survey questions ask apprentices how the split between work and study works, how good their mentor is, whether they learn real skills and how likely they are to finish. The answers warn employers and training providers about an apprentice at risk of leaving while there is still time to help.
Ask every three months, from the first quarter of the program to the last, and keep each round to five to seven questions. Send the link by email or show a QR code during a training day, and send the monthly log signature as its own short form.
Each written answer is read as it arrives and given a theme, a sentiment and an urgency, so an apprentice who writes about a problem at work reaches the program coordinator first. Give each response an owner in the inbox, and add every response to a Google Sheet or post it to Microsoft Teams.

The 14 apprenticeships questions, with when to ask each
Grouped by what they tell you. Use them as they are or change the wording.
Work, study and the mentor
How the program runs day to day, with the grid behind it, to compare employers and groups of apprentices.
- 01Multiple choice
How is your time split between work and study?
How the apprentice's time splits between work and study. Results shows a donut with each share; compare it with the split the program promises.
- 02Stars
How would you rate your workplace mentor?
A star rating for the workplace mentor. Results shows the average and a bar per rating; tag the link with the employer, so each workplace gets its own score.
- 03Yes / No
Are you learning real skills on the job?
Whether the apprentice is learning real skills on the job. Results shows the share that said yes; a No early in the program is worth a visit to that workplace.
- 04Matrix
Rate each part of the apprenticeship
Rates the training, the work, the mentor and pay in one grid. The heat map shows which part pulls the program down, and row averages let you compare one intake with the next.
Staying on to the end
Who is likely to finish and what makes it hard, read together so you can help an apprentice at risk.
- 06Big scale
How likely are you to finish the program?
How likely the apprentice is to finish, from 1 to 10. Results shows the average and a column per step; give each low score an owner in the inbox the same week.
- 05Multiple choice
What is hardest about an apprenticeship?
Picks every hard part, from juggling work and study to feeling behind friends. Keep Nothing as an option, and read the answers next to the chance of finishing.
- 10Yes / No
Do you expect a job offer at the end?
Whether the apprentice expects a job offer at the end. A falling share of yes is worth raising with employers before the final months.
- 09Ruler
How many months into the program are you?
Months into the program, on a ruler. Results shows the median and the middle half, and the answer lets you read first-quarter answers apart from final-year ones.
Getting in and what comes next
How apprentices found the program, their field and what they want from it, for planning the next intake.
- 11Customer effort
How easy was it to find this apprenticeship?
How easy it was to find this apprenticeship, on a 7-point scale. Results shows the average and the share who found it easy, which helps when you plan how to advertise places.
- 08Dropdown
Which trade or field are you training in?
Which trade or field the apprentice trains in. Select one in Results to filter the whole page, since construction and IT apprentices face different problems.
- 14Ranking
Rank what you want most from the program
Apprentices put a qualification, a job, pay, skills and contacts in order. Results shows the average place per item, which tells you what to stress when you recruit.
Advice and the monthly log
Two open questions for the employer and future apprentices, with the monthly log signature.
- 07Text
What would you tell someone thinking about this apprenticeship?
Asks what the apprentice would tell someone thinking about the program. The answers are honest advice for future applicants, and the themes show what the program does well.
- 13Text
What should your employer do differently?
Asks what the employer should do differently. Each answer gets a type and a sentiment, so complaints reach the coordinator and ideas reach the employer.
- 12Signature
Sign to confirm your training log for this month
Lets the apprentice sign the monthly training log. Signatures appear in a gallery in Results and with each response in the inbox. Signature is on every plan, 1 per survey on Free.
Tips for asking about apprenticeships
Small choices that get honest, useful answers.
- 01
Ask every quarter
Run the same short survey every three months, so a falling score shows up while the apprentice is still on the program.
- 02
Act on low finishing scores
Give every low score on finishing an owner in the inbox, and arrange a conversation with the apprentice that week.
- 03
Compare employers and workplaces
Tag the link with the employer or workplace, so mentors and workplaces each get their own scores.
- 04
Keep the log separate
Send the monthly log signature as its own short form. Mixed into a feedback survey, it turns the survey into paperwork.
