Course Description
The purpose of this eLearning Training Needs Identification & Design 6N3325 award is to develop an understanding of the methodologies and processes available to approach Training Needs Identifications and Design.

We will do this by equipping the learner with the knowledge, skill and competence to identify training and development needs. They will achieve this based on specific goals, within an organisations and or at an individual level and go on to Design, Plan and Implement a training schedule. We will explore the scope of training delivery and development design to meet those needs.

We will look at “best practice” in approaching Training Needs Identification and Design, looking at generic approaches to assess the Gap in skills, as identified, based on the target goals “to be” and the current “as is” status of the organisation and learners at the out set. Extracting the relevant data from your assessment, and using this to design the most appropriate training, to be delivered at the right level, using the most effective approach, and the right tools to ensure high quality training is delivered in a timely fashion falling within a manageable budget.

We will also teach evaluation models, approaches, techniques and tools as well as a range of training aids. We will explore how to approach the provision of constructive feedback to participants as well as specialised training delivery and evaluation skills. Finally we will review the training evaluation process.
