Competency-based Training Needs Analysis

INTRODUCTION

Training is about helping people learn so that they can do their jobs to the required standards. However, often training fails to address the real individual, occupational, departmental, or organisational needs. One of the major factors contributing to this situation is that training workshops are not based on business needs or mission critical needs. Training should be based on systematic assessment of current and future needs of organisations.

Our two-day workshop is designed to help training professionals :
• Collect and analyse relevant data
