CDP releases annual training survey results
CDP recently released its training effectiveness report for fiscal year 2024.
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) recently released its training effectiveness report for fiscal year 2024.
Using student surveys and a comparison of pre-tests and final exams, the report gauges the degree to which students found their training to be appealing and relevant, as well as whether they gained what they hoped from the instruction.
The report was based on 11,842 resident and non-resident student surveys recorded between October 2023 and September 2024.
Among the results:
At the completion of their courses, more than 99 percent of students said the training they received made them better prepared to perform their duties, particularly in emergencies.
Average final exam scores were 93 points – an increase of 29 points over the average pre-test scores.
The report also gauged the quality of the instructors and course materials.
On a five-point scale, the quality of instruction received a 4.7 for the year and more than 99 percent of respondents said they would recommend the course(s) they took to others.
