Training Needs Analysis

Would you like us to conduct a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) for your local voluntary and community organisation? 

A TNA is a review of the learning and development needs of staff, volunteers and trustees in your organisation. It is a vital process as it helps you:

  • identify your capacity, the skills and knowledge you need
  • improve your performance and deliver your mission and strategic objectives
  • develop appropriate and cost effective training programme for your staff and volunteers
  • improve your recruitment process and
  • increase job satisfaction and staff productivity.

Organisational TNA's are undertaken at 3 levels:

  1. organisational,
  2. team and
  3. individual level.

A variety of methods are used to identify learning needs such as: analysing existing plans and strategies, questionnaires, one-to-one interviews and focus groups.

If you'd like to access this service or need more information please contact us on 020 7243 9800 or email siobhan@kcsc.org.uk
