How do you perform a Training Needs Analysis?
The Training Needs Analysis is a key part of the Learning Cycle. If you get this bit wrong, the rest of it will be wrong as well.
The key questions are:
What is happening now?
What do you need to be happening now?
The difference in the answers is called:
“The Gap”
And the gap can be broken down into:
training needs and non-training needs
So a good Training Needs Analysis course needs to work with this framework and enable the learner to create a plan for how they carry out an effective training needs analysis.
What are the three levels of Training Needs Analysis?
Level 1 – Organisational
These are learning needs that are relevant across the whole organisation. Examples include changing the culture and changes in the external environment.
Level 2 – Group Needs
Group needs will typically be departmental, group based or job function related. Examples include a change in a process or a new local initiative.
Level 3 – Individual Needs
These will be specific to a particular individual. examples include needs identified from an individual performance appraisal or from day to day observation.
