Course Overview

The global corporate training market is projected to reach $487.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% (Grand View Research), highlighting the critical need for effective learning and development (L&D) strategies. However, only 40% of organizations report that their training programs effectively close skills gaps (McKinsey), while 58% of employees claim they need additional training to perform their jobs successfully (LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report). This comprehensive Learning and Development: Needs Analysis and Evaluation Skills course combines two essential disciplines—Training Needs Analysis and Evaluation Techniques and Learning and Development Manager Skill Building—to equip L&D professionals with the expertise needed to design impactful training programs that deliver measurable business results.
Research shows that companies with mature training evaluation processes achieve 24% higher profit margins (ATD), yet only 35% of organizations conduct any training evaluation beyond participant satisfaction surveys (Training Industry Report). Furthermore, organizations that align training with strategic objectives see 218% higher revenue per employee (Bersin by Deloitte). These statistics underscore the urgent need for L&D professionals who can systematically identify skill gaps, design targeted interventions, and demonstrate training ROI.
Key Highlights of the Training Include:
Advanced Training Needs Analysis (TNA) methodologies to accurately identify organizational learning gaps
Global evaluation frameworks including Kirkpatrick, Phillips ROI, and Kaufman’s models
Data-driven decision-making techniques for L&D program design and improvement
Strategic alignment processes to connect training initiatives with business outcomes
Competency mapping tools for targeted employee development
ROI measurement strategies that demonstrate training’s financial impact
Digital learning evaluation techniques for hybrid and virtual training environments
This course bridges the gap between learning theory and business impact, empowering participants to transform L&D from a cost center to a strategic value driver.
