Identifying Learning Needs

---

The Identifying Learning Needs course provides an advanced, practical approach to Learning and Development (L&D) and organizational development. It offers a clear, step-by-step framework that L&D practitioners can follow to assess both current and future learning needs within their organizations.

This course is designed for professionals responsible for developing others in an organizational context who may be unsure how to accurately identify learning needs and design solutions that truly address them. It is also highly valuable for freelance trainers and learning consultants seeking a structured, objective, and systematic approach to assessing client needs.

Throughout the program, participants will learn how to conduct a comprehensive Learning Needs Analysis (LNA), from defining objectives and collecting relevant data to analyzing findings and presenting actionable recommendations. The course emphasizes practical application, ensuring participants can confidently communicate the LNA process and results to key stakeholders.

By following each step of the process, participants will produce a complete Learning Needs Analysis report that can be presented to stakeholders to secure alignment, buy-in, and informed decision-making.
