Abstract
M.Phil. (Training Management)
Training can only be cost-effective and goal-orientated when it is
.directed at the needs of the individual. Goal-orientated training is,
however, dependant upon the trainers ability to provide for a model aimed at not only the needs of the individual, but which also caters for
the specific work situation and the demands of the organisation.
The study is therefore directed at the provision of a scientific model
to determine and evaluate training needs. The literature study also
places the emphasis on especially needs assessment, needs assessment
processes and models.
The assessment of needs is discussed as part of the systematic approach
for training and the chief objective is formulated to provide the correct
training for each individual with due cognisance to the knowledge and
skills already attained and which will meet the requirements of the post
he occupies or will occupy.
