The Training Cycle Adapted from A Practical Guide to Training and Development, Michael Moskowitz (2008) Needs Analysis Design Monitoring and Evaluation Conduct

Training Needs Analysis Identifying Training Needs • During this stage we address questions such as: – What is the current situation? – What problems exist? – What are the opportunities? – What is the required, ideal situation? – What new knowledge, skills or attitudes are desired?

Training Design Once training needs have been identified, you need to prepare for training delivery, post-training support and training evaluation: • Formulate specific learning outcomes, methodologies • Handouts, materials, presentations • Logistical issues: facilitator-to-delegate ratio, venue facilities and refreshments, budgets

Conduct of Training • Training should be led by experienced and skilled facilitators. – It is essential that training sessions be regarded with a sense of reward and value. • Facilitators need to cater for different learning and communication styles in how they present.

Training Monitoring and Evaluation • It is important to know to what extent the learning program has been successful. • Evaluation is planned for during the preparation stage
