Training Needs Analysis and Evaluation of Learning Impact

Stop guessing what training people need and start proving what training delivers. This programme equips delegates to run a rigorous training needs analysis at organisational, team and individual level, then evaluate whether learning actually changed behaviour and performance. It uses African workplace scenarios where every training rand must be justified to sceptical line managers and finance teams.
