McGuire Programme - Evaluation Audit 2007

Twice a year, as part of our ongoing quality control, primary coaches submit reports on all their students, RDs compile these and send to Dave McGuire. Once a year, Dave assigns Regional Evaluators to verify the reports by calling a majority of members. Any discrepancy is resolved by an experienced Evaluator (Auditor).

In 2007 we had, world-wide, 404 new members start their first course. Of those, 296 or 76% were rated as successful. This was a significant increase over last year's results for 2006 of 66% (see below). Of special note is the remarkable improvement of the New Zealand (92%) and Australian (83%) success rates over the previous year.

Since the 2003 evaluation, we tightened the criteria where those who we could not contact (n/c's) were, with a few exceptions, rated as unsuccessful. The success rate may go up over the next few months as n/c's are contacted and this report is updated.
