Identifying Training Needs and Evaluating Training

Program Overview

Training budgets deliver value only when they target real performance gaps and when results are measured. This course covers both ends of the training cycle: conducting organisational, task and individual training needs analysis, linking needs to strategy and competency frameworks, prioritising and writing learning objectives, and then evaluating training using the Kirkpatrick four levels. Participants design data collection tools, interpret evaluation results and report learning impact to management, with examples from Gulf organisations aligning training with national workforce development goals.
