How a training needs analysis works

  1. List the tasks

    Write down what the role does each day and week. Use the job description and ask a manager.

  2. Ask 3 questions per task

    How often is it done? What happens if it goes wrong? Can people do it well today?

  3. Pick the fix

    Tasks people already do need nothing. Rare, low-risk tasks need a job aid. Risky or daily tasks people cannot do yet need a course.

  4. Plan the course

    Turn the course tasks into lessons with a quiz. See our free course map.

Questions about training needs analysis

What is a training needs analysis?

A check of what a role needs people to do, against what they can do today. It ends in a list of gaps and the fix for each.

Do I need a template?

You can use ours above and download it as Word or Excel. Prefer a blank template? See our training needs analysis template.

Does every gap need a course?

No. Many gaps close with a one-page job aid or some coaching. A course is worth it when the task is risky or done often.
