Training Needs Analysis (TNA)

Our training development services begin with a thorough needs analysis to identify the specific training requirements of our clients. Typically a TNA will be required when a new unit/capability is being established, a new piece of equipment (or enhancements to current equipment) are being introduced, doctrine is being changed that underpins a specific capability, or if there has been a change to policy or legislation. TNA is a flexible, yet output driven process which is designed to ensure that training is both effective and aligned with operational requirements. The final output is a comprehensive TNA report, that ensures decisions are well-documented and tailored to meet the specific training needs. The key stages of a TNA include:

  • Stage 1: Scoping Study - Defines the scope of the TNA and identifies key stakeholders (to include the Terms of Reference for the TNA).
  • Stage 2: Role Analysis - Defines the duties, tasks, sub tasks and task elements that the role holder must be able to accomplish in order to carry out their role. These are documented in a Role Scalar. The conditions and standards that the tasks must be conducted to are also identified which are captured in the Role Performance Statement. This stage includes an analysis of the Difficulty, Importance and Frequency of the tasks as well as a Knowledge, Skills and Attitude analysis.
  • Stage 3: Training Gap Analysis - Identifies any gaps between the current performance standards and those now required by the role holder in order to establish the additional training required for the role holders(s). The initial Training Objectives are drafted at this stage, based on the outputs of Stages 1 and 2 of the TNA.
  • Stage 4: Training Options Analysis - Considers and recommends the most effective training solution to accomplish the training requirement. This stage comprises a fidelity analysis, location/environment implications and consideration of appropriate methods & media to accomplish the initial Training Objectives. It also includes a cost/benefit analysis of the various options in order to evaluate the extent to which different options meet the training requirement.
  • Stage 5: TNA Report - Summarises the TNA process that has been conducted and presents the outputs of Stages 1 through 4 to specify the exact training requirement. The report recommends the optimal training solution through the evaluation of options and documents the resources required to design and support the delivery of training.
