Summary Postgraduate students attending a ten‐week course in occupational medicine have evaluated all contributions to this course on the basis of value, interest and presentation. Assessments given for the standards of presentation of items of the teaching vary more than the assessments given for interest. Interest in those parts of the course with a direct clinical content is greater than in other sections of the course. Methodological problems necessitate certain assumptions in this form of audit. The results nevertheless provide worthwhile feedback to contributors and co‐ordinators that can be used to maintain and improve the quality of courses.
