I have been asked to do a Training needs analysis, but to ensure that it I don’t leave anything out I'm looking for a template. Any ideas.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but templates provide no assurance you have not left anything out. How can the template's maker know what your organization needs? There are so many unique demands.

I did find a site that had templates:

Here is the site's home page:

Has there been an internal audit cycle that can help you identify areas for training needs?

I am having trouble pinning down just what you mean unless you tell me: are you designing a training program, or are you finding holes?

In the Navy, a matrix worked well to quickly show who was in line for what training, and when it was completed. Diagonal lines in each block provided space for entering both the type of training (it could be numbered if the blocks are small) and dates of completion.

This isn't practical with an 800-person plant, but could do nicely for departments. Some places use rosters of those who completed training, but I liked the matrix better because it shows more information. As an auditor I was interested when the training manager couldn't tell me how they knew when someone was supposed to receive training, but didn't.

I hope this helps!

If those training templates posted by J. Kirley don't help you, please respond with more information about the type of analysis you have been tasked to do.

Here are three examples of skills matrices in the attached zip file. Maybe one of them will work for you.

We handle the training needs analysis via the annual performance appraisal. At the very bottom of the form, the supervisor and employee write in any training they would like to have completed during the year. HR puts this information into an Excel spreadsheet to identify the courses that are most requested and schedule them accordingly. Not all courses are scheduled through HR - employees can request outside training classes for those that are not; e.g. AIAG courses.

Thanks all for your help. My analysis was due today; I finished it but will not find out about the results until next week.
Jodi- I'm a trainer at Townsville airport, the analysis I was asked to do was for Sydney airport for a new contract that we won. Plus if the training and compliance manager likes it I'll get a job as training and compliance manager as well.
 
Good Luck!

New challenges bring new opportunities. Best of luck!
