Training Needs Identification & Design

Course details

QQI Training Needs Identification & Design 6N3325 If you have ever considered training others in your own subject area of expertise, then this module will enable you to acquire the knowledge, skill and competence to identify training and development needs and design a program to meet that need within a range of training and development contexts. This is also an ideal module for those working in a position/supervisory position where they have to identify the gap in employee knowledge and skills in an organisation/company/HR setting. This course, coupled with Training Delivery & Evaluation QQI Level 6 (6N3326), or the old Train the Trainer E30179 (at the moment), will lead you to the Training & Development Specific Purpose Award
