Training Needs Analysis & Training Programme Designing
 
PREMISE: Interactions with organisations in the agricultural sector show that most of them have little returns from their investments on training. Two major reasons account for the low returns. The first is the failure to analyse training needs as a basis for giving training while the second is the faulty design and inappropriate material development. These situations are traceable to low capability in identifying training needs and developing content and materials that facilitate effective learning.

OBJECTIVES:
This course aims at developing and/or strengthening the skills which training and human resource development officers require to analyse training needs as well as developing training programmes and instructional materials.
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
 
  • identify and clarify training needs;
  • prepare human resource development training plans;
  • apply adult learning principles to training programme design; and
  • design training programmes.

  • Training concept and its importance in ARD
  • Procedures for conducting training needs.
