Dear All,

Greetings!

If you are looking for some help with TNA, then the attached PDF should definitely offer you something to feel good about. Please let me know if you need additional information on TNA. I will be glad to be of help.

Furthermore, I look forward to hearing from you about your experiences conducting TNA.

Excellent piece of work, Tanushree. Very valuable information and useful, especially for someone who is newly foraying into training. Great to have a member like you in this forum. Cheers!

Using Excel for Training Needs Assessment (TNA)

The PDF and Excel files posted years ago are excellent sources for reference and implementation. I have a suggestion for those who would like to use the Excel format. The given format, when completed, will give you an idea of the present levels. The trainer should, in consultation with the client, establish the desired levels.

Let's say someone on a '1 to 10' scale has scored 3. It is very unlikely that any training will take the person straight away to 10. An immediate goal, say for the year, would be something like 5. Over a period of three years or so, depending on the intensity of training and practice, the person will reach a score of 10.

This will call for two columns for every individual, one showing the score "before" the training and the other one "after" the training.
