This document summarizes training needs identification and analysis. It introduces the presenters and defines continuing professional development. It outlines three key learning outcomes which are to identify three key sources of job information, identify methodologies of data collection, and define the process of effective training needs analysis outlining various models. It defines what a training need is and discusses training needs analysis, outlining two models: Garavan's 8/6/4 step model and McGehee and Thayer's 3 step model. It identifies common denominators in the process which include identifying the problem, designing the data collection process, collecting and analyzing data, and identifying and prioritizing needs. It discusses various data collection tools and techniques and analyzing jobs and tasks through
