How to write a Training Plan

We are sometimes asked to produce a training plan for our department or team.. where do we start?

Having completed a Training Needs Analysis (TNA), the resulting information can be formulated into a document as outlined below:

REPORT/ PLAN TITLE __________________

1.   Introduction

Intro, purpose, overview, scope

2.   Skills Needed

ABC personnel require the following skills:

1. Familiarity with….
2. Understanding of …..
3. Ability to …

3.   Training Requirements

ABC personnel are required to complete the following training courses:

1. Level 1 staff…..
2. Level 2 staff….
3. Level 3 staff ….
4. Specific skill requirements by person are shown in the training needs analysis table

4.   Training Records

Training records and dates completed for current employees will be maintained in three places:

Level 1 staff ….

Level 2 staff….

Level 3 staff ….

The Training Plan Matrix shows an example format for maintaining near-term Training requirements, training records, and. training schedules.
