Course Description
Training Needs Analysis is designed to help you identify the precise areas where training is required for your organization’s employees. Effective training or development depends on knowing what is required - for the individual, the department and the organization as a whole. With limited budgets and the need for cost-effective solutions, all organizations need to ensure that the resources invested in training are targeted at areas where training and development is needed and a positive return on the investment is guaranteed. Effective TNA is particularly vital in today's changing workplace as new technologies and flexible working practices are becoming widespread, leading to corresponding changes in the skills and abilities needed.
Good training needs analysis is essential if the organization is to align the skills currently available with those required to meet strategic objectives. If conducted properly, it will also help you to diagnose when training will solve certain problems and issues and when alternative interventions might be needed. This program will help prepare all those involved in a training needs analysis to play their part effectively.
This intensive and interactive program has the added benefit of ensuring that training and development initiatives are aligned with organizational goals, objectives and culture; creating training solutions that are specific to the organization. The aim of this course is to demonstrate how you can be sure that right staff are provided with the right training at the right time.
