Thank you to everyone who responded to the Peak-Careers Online Seminar survey! The results were insightful and will help me with planning for future seminars. Here are some highlights from the survey responses:
More than half of respondents have taken an OLS (58.8%) and of those:
- 83.3% were prompted to take a seminar based on the topic
- 63.3% were prompted by continuing education requirements
- Format (46.7%) and affordability (40%) were next most popular reasons
Of those who have not taken an OLS, the following reasons were most often given:
- 47.6% cited timing and availability conflicts
- 33.3% cited cost as being prohibitive
Preferred method of professional development was split fairly evenly between Online synchronous and Online asynchronous. The largest segment indicated a preference for hybrid training (37.3%). Here is a visualization of the results:
When choosing professional development, the respondents overwhelmingly rated the seminar topic as “most important” to them. The factors of price, instructor, and continuing education credits were rated as “important” fairly evenly with price getting the highest number of “important” votes.
It looks like February and March are winners for most preferred time of year with October coming in third. Good news! We have several seminars slated for October, February, and March.
