Özet: Training evaluation assists planners and decision makers in designing future training programs and while evaluation can be done in many different ways, this article will look solely at the opinions of participants on the Coast Guard School training program. Participant opinion contributes significantly to the improvement, development and quality enhancement processes of the training unit. This is a mixed study. The study was planned as a questionnaire variable design from mixed convergent designs. Within the scope of the research, open and closedended questions were put to 100 volunteer participants, 12 of whom were female. The data collection technique included closed-ended questionnaire, semi-structured opened-ended question and document analysis. The data was analyzed by content analysis method with the help of SPSS and Nvivo package programs.
