McGuire Programme - Success Evaluation Audit 2010
Twice a year, as part of our ongoing quality control, primary coaches submit reports on all their students, Regional Directors (RDs) compile these and send to Dave McGuire. Once a year, Dave assigns Regional Evaluators to verify (audit) the reports by calling the majority of members rated successful by RDs.
Any discrepancy is resolved by a third experienced Evaluator. 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. (Click to view a description of our success criteria)
Three records have been broken during this evaluation period:
- Iain Mutch and his fine coaches/instructors in UK North have broken the regional record with 93%. Not only have they broken the previous record (New Zealand 2007 - 92%), his success rate actually came out to be HIGHER than what he and his primary coaches originally reported (88% pre audit).
- Joe O’Donnell and his coaches/instructors in Ireland achieved all time high success rate for the region of 86%.
- Although some Regions still need to improve, we’ve broken the all time overall international record with 78%.
