Training Needs Assessment Certificate
UNDERSTAND THE NEED. PROVIDE THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS. POSITION L&D FOR SUCCESS.
Without a clear diagnostic process, organizations risk investing time and money in learning solutions that don’t solve the real problem. That’s where a strong needs assessment makes the difference. According to Training Industry research, fewer than 20% of organizations have optimized their diagnostic processes. That gap presents a powerful opportunity for learning and development (L&D) professionals: When you know how to assess needs accurately, you become more than an order-taker; you become a trusted business advisor.
In this Training Industry certificate, you’ll gain a strategic, evidence-based approach to needs assessment. You’ll learn how to create a needs assessment strategy that answers the right questions for your projects, identify root causes and align learning with business priorities. You will also review several data sources and data gathering strategies to ensure you have all the information you need to make the right recommendations to your stakeholders. With practical tools and a research-backed framework, you’ll be prepared to lead conversations that protect your budget, focus your efforts and elevate the role of L&D in your organization.
