Identify the organisation’s needs
The TNA performs the task of identifying and analysing the gap between existing skills and the required skills for a particular task or job function, to allow managers to select appropriate training solutions.

Conduct the training needs analysis
A mistake often made by facilitators who have never conducted TNAs is underestimating the time required to complete the data gathering, analysis and drafting recommendations.
There is also often a tendency to gather either too much or too little relevant data on the existing training, skills and knowledge within an organisation. Depending on the size of the organisation and the organisational objectives, a TNA may take several days, or up to
several weeks or even months to complete.
The reason for this extended completion time is the need to gather high quality, reliable data upon which to base your recommendations. Time invested early in this stage will pay off in determining appropriate and efficient training solutions.

Provide advice to the organisation
Organisations undertake training needs analyses to inform and advise on options available, which may or may not include training, to meet their organisational objectives. The product of a TNA will be the report presented to the client organisation, containing the information
gathered, the gap identified and the solutions recommended in the light of the analysis and of the organisation’s objectives. Where the solution is found to include training, a training plan should be included.
