While training is generally seen to be a 'good thing', it is all too easy to send someone on an expensive IT training course without being sure that the course is worthwhile, or even that it is the right course for the person.  So how do you decide what training needs your organisation has? The answer is contact Axiom Networking Solutions to conduct a training needs analysis.

COMPETENCY ANALYSIS FOR TRAINING (CAT) is the procedure identifying the competencies and training requirements for work tasks and including the development of appropriate training plans.

Training is most effective when focused on a specific need. Axiom Networking Solutions can perform training needs analysis at the corporate, departmental and individual level to determine the skills needed to meet your strategic business objectives, as well as those of the department and individual.

Our approach

Axiom Networking Solutions can work with your team and your management to understand what the goals of the business are.

The format of the individual Training Needs Analysis depends on the number involved and the training goals, but will range from one-to-one interviews to using computer-based analysis tools. The depth of detail of the Training Needs Analysis will have been agreed on in advance and will depend on whether the aim is to provide training to meet a specific need or whether it is taking place as part of an overall skills-development process.

We present the results in an agreed format, ranging from an informal presentation/workshop through to more detailed analysis in a database or spreadsheet. Our findings are presented with recommendations for courses of action to address the identified skills gap.

We can then design and implement your training program.
