The podcast gives information on different types of evaluation methods. The interviewed teacher addresses that some prefer evaluation methods during a course and others only after a course. In addition, she clarifies that data from different sources is useful for qualitatively valuable evaluation documentation. The teacher also gives first suggestions for evaluation methods when working with refugees.

Main Goals:

• The quality of the teaching methods might be one of the principal key factors in vocational training for refugees.
• A vocational training program for refugees has a different reference point for evaluating the teaching method as many actors are involved.
• All responsible stakeholders can give verbal or written evaluation about their satisfaction of the teaching methods which are adopted. 
• The form and time of the evaluation should consider the language level of the refugees, time of enrollment and abilities to allow their contribution to the evaluation. 
• Standards for the evaluation of the teaching method for refugees is a pre-condition for such evaluation.
• The evaluation results could help to increase the quality of the vocational programms for refugees.
