ASSESSING TRAINING NEEDS

---

Register your interest in a public group session

We understand individuals and small businesses may not have the resources to book an exclusive group or one-to-one session, so we operate a wait list system. Give us you contact details and when enough people have registered their interest we'll be in touch to organise a date. For most sessions you'll be alongside (virtually that is) no more than five other trainees.

Organise an in-house private course

This is the way most organisations choose to work with us. You get to choose the workshop, nominate who you want to sit the session, fix a time and date that suits everyone and decide whether you want online or in-person delivery. We do the rest – even down to tweaking the training to match your specific needs. All we need is a bit of information about you so click the organise button to get the ball rolling.

AIM

This practical and effective course is aimed at those who may currently be trainers and now have the added responsibility for identifying and assessing training needs, as well as at those who have no day-to-day training role, but who have been tasked with the role of finding out the training needs of the organisation. 

OBJECTIVES

By the end of this workshop, through practical sessions, group work, case studies and discussion, each delegate should be able to:

 

•             Review organisational objectives and identify critical activities

•             Set measurable performance standards

•             Monitor performance to identify problem areas

•             Gain feedback from clients, suppliers, partners, funders and any other key people

•             Gather concerns and suggestions from employees about their training needs

•             Identify different ways of gathering information:- interviews, observation, surveys

•             Recognise any dependencies, for e.g. where only one employee has crucial skills or               knowledge

•             Review any legal requirements such as health & safety training

•             Highlight any planned organisational changes , e.g. mergers, redundancies, new            technology, procedures, services or products 

•             Consider how employees' roles may change

•             Prioritise problem areas or areas of weakness

•             Consider how improving systems or equipment could contribute to resolving problems

•             Assess whether training will be an effective solution; assess employees' willingness to       learn, and preferred learning styles

•             Identify training options and set clear objectives and time scales for training activities

•             Implement a pilot training scheme and review the outcome before rolling the               programme out

•             Regularly review the outcome of training to identify further training needs and to assess       the effectiveness of your training needs analysis [TNA] 

•             Constantly review the cardinal rules of assessing training needs
