Training Needs Analysis and Instructional Design

Training Needs Analysis

Training needs analysis (TNA) is key in measuring and improving the effectiveness of training throughout an organisation.

Workforce surveys and reviews of existing training methods and materials enable us to identify and understand knowledge gaps and skills gaps between existing levels and those considered necessary for compliance or improvement.

TNA findings enable us to evolve effective learning and development plans with our clients ensuring factors including budget, timescales, environment and culture are all catered for. This forms the basis for cultural change, operational improvement and organisation growth.

In order to achieve successful change, we identify clear and quantifiable aims and objectives that measure performance and enable improvement.

Instructional Design

Good training course design is key to successful learning. Whatever the quality of your existing training and learning materials, our instructional designers can work with your subject matter experts and training managers to:

• create structured learning plans that address gaps in staff knowledge and skills

• design practical exercises that enable the practise of new behaviours

• explore blended learning - multilple methods of learning e.g. use of multiple learning resource types, forums, quizzes, tests and formal assessment processes, monitoring results to improve training and overall performance

• develop post course reviews to help measure training effectiveness

• use feedback to help improve the quality of the learning process

Our learning storyboards have clear objectives that are explained to learners upfront and reviewed at the conclusion of each lesson. A focus on results delivers real business benefits and removes any doubts as to the value of effective training within an organisation.

We design cost-saving e-learning solutions for delivery via Learning Management Systems, Internet / Intranet, CD-ROM, DVD as well as PDA and Smartphone.
