Course Title: Training Needs Assessment and Evaluation of Training July 2018

COURSE OVERVIEW

Most organizations embark on training on the basis of supply driven, what is available in the market or who has not attended training. There is need for thorough needs analysis before embarking on training otherwise organisations will train a lot of their employees without a corresponding raise in performance. Even when training is the correct response and the programme is the right one, organizations need to check how effective the programme was and if there was impact at the end of the training.

This practical programme provides the latest methods and tools to be able to complete two most important areas of the training cycle – Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and Evaluation.
