The Five Phases Of The Training Process Model

Discuss five phases of the training process model. Explain the challenges/ opportunities facing training. Training is a process that teaches an individual how to complete a particular skill or type of behavior. The five phases in the training process includes the analysis phase, the design phase, the development phase, the implementation phase, and the evaluation phase. Sometimes these phases are referred to using an acronym ADDIE. As soon as the need for training is identified then the analysis phase begins. The need for training is identified by measuring the expected level of performance against the actual level of performance. The difference between these two is referred to as a performance gap. When there is a performance gap it means that the actual level of performance is less than the expected level of performance. If this gap is caused by inadequate KSAs, then training can be utilized to satisfy the need. However, if the gap is caused by something other than inadequate KSAs, then the appropriate non-training interventions need to take place. Training Need Analysis (TNA) uses information from three sources namely the organization, the operational areas, and the individuals. The second phase is the design phase. At this phase the training needs that were identified in the analysis phases becomes inputs with the additional inputs derived from the operational and organizational analyses. These provide information as to what will be trained
