Guide for courses evaluation and upgrading
Although the project main actors, tutors and learners, have reached the envisaged work targets, and the global experience within this group has been positively evaluated, there is always a need of analysing and improving, if necessary. In this context, the Guide for courses evaluation and upgrading, synthesize the relevant aspects and conclusions drawn after each partner evaluation.
4. Analysis of the information provided by the partner institutions
4.3. About the participants within the target groups
Each partner of the project consortium was responsible for training a group of minimum 20 participants. This indicator has been met by all project partners.
Graphical representations from Figure 2 to Figure 11 were made based on the numerical data provided by the partner institutions in the project.
Table 2 summarize information about the participants in blended courses organised by the five partners of the consortium.

- Except two partners from the project consortium, TZU and TU Maribor, a significant percentage of the trainees in the target groups are coming from outside the training institution (Figure 3).
- The success rate regarding completing the online courses on the e-learning platform ranges between 97% (TUIASI) to 35% (TZU& INCDTP Buc.2) (Figure 4).
