2.1. Training Needs Analysis
A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a review of learning and development requirements for staff, volunteers and trustees within in an organisation. In carrying out the TNA I will consider the skills, knowledge and behaviours that member of my organisation need, and how to develop them effectively.
A learning need is when a gap is identified between the present level of performance and the required level of performance. This ‘required level of performance’ can be of two types; where performance has falling below or not yet reached a satisfactory standard, or where a new standard of performance is required.
Learning needs are often defined at one of three levels: * An organisational need as a result of new legislative requirement, technological development or major restructuring. * A group or job need as a result of changing requirement or new specifications. * An individual need due to sub-standard performance or when starting a new job, a transfer, promotion or secondment requiring new skills.
