How to identify your training needs with a simple spreadsheet

Posted on Jan 04, 2018


This handy Training Needs Analysis template for Excel helps you get a better insight into the training and skills levels with your organisation

A Training Needs Analysis has a variety of uses from supporting gap analysis between required and actual knowledge levels and also tracking competency levels. When used as a visual management tool, the matrix can identify, at a glance, individual skill levels and weaknesses within the department.

We have compiled a simple template for construction employers to create their own training matrix. The document itself will need to be tailored slightly to suit your company.

To identify the training needs of your employees:

Mark the box with a red bold ‘X’
