COURSE SURVEYS
SFT has revamped the course evaluation survey for student feedback. The new course survey is
now available for students to complete.
Feedback plays a crucial role in enhancing course
quality and ensuring safety, making it vital for
instructors to understand the importance of feedback
from the start. A well-designed student evaluation tool
directly links these goals, as it fosters a constructive
feedback loop that drives curriculum improvement,
acknowledges instructional excellence, and supports
student empowerment.
SFT Registered Instructors offer an optional Course
Evaluation Survey at the end of each course, which
allows students to provide feedback on course content,
learning environment, online learning experience,
and their instructor. In FY 2024, students submitted
more than 4600 surveys. At the end of each student
evaluation, there is a field for students to indicate
whether they consent to a follow-up contact from SFT
or request one. Of the 4600 students who completed
the survey, 307 requested and were given an
opportunity to provide feedback about their course
experience. Most of the time, students are impressed
with the way their instructors blend classroom and

applied content and want to share how effective
or amazing their instructor was. Occasionally,
students have constructive feedback that they would
like to share with SFT or return to their instructor for
further consideration. In FY 2024, 5 instructors were
contacted regarding student feedback about SFT
courses.
The information from these surveys is valuable,
which is why SFT has an initiative to generate even
more feedback related to course experiences. In
collaboration with CSU-Sacramento, SFT has designed
a new student evaluation tool, which will be launched
in parallel with this report. This initiative is rooted
in a shared commitment to enhance the safety and
effectiveness of firefighting efforts throughout our
communities.
