AUDITED EVALUATIONS FOR MEMBERS WHO JOINED THE McGUIRE PROGRAMME IN 2017
332
Number of new members in 2017
OVERALL SUCCESS RATE INCLUDING NON-RESPONDENTS
Note: this figure rates all non-respondents as "unsuccessful,". The McGuire Programme treats this as our true overall success rate.
SUCCESS RATE OF MEMBERS WHO WERE ACTIVE FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AFTER THEIR 1ST COURSE
Our new members who took advantage of the McGuire Programme's INCLUDED Lifetime Support Membership for at least 6 months.
PERCENTAGE OF NEW MEMBERS INDICATING AN IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE
New members who attributed an increased Quality of Life to the McGuire Programme and their improved speaking abilities.
OVERALL SUCCESS RATE EXCLUDING NON-RESPONDENTS
Many other programs do not include non-respondents in their success rate calculations. If we used this method the above percentage of new McGuire Programme members would have been rated successful.
Always Evaluating Ourselves
In 2017, 332 people joined the McGuire Programme. Of these, 245 members (74%) were confirmed to be successful by our Evaluation Auditors (B+ or higher). These members were evaluated 12-18 months after their first course.
Furthermore, an impressive 98% of people who took advantage of the Programme’s lifetime support for at least 6 months after their first course were confirmed as successful.
Although we have several categories of “success,” audited evaluations where non-contactable (NCs) are factored in as unsuccessful remains the most valid indicator of our true success rate. In 2017, that success rate was 74%.
Two things about this audit are remarkable:
1. There was a dramatic improvement over last year’s 63% success rate for those who joined us in 2016. Although we’re not sure why there was such a drop in success for 2016, improvements to the accountability standards of Primary Coaches and more emphasis on the follow-up support are most likely the main reasons for the dramatic improvement.
2. Five McGuire Programme Regions achieved success rates of over 80%
