Training Needs Analysis forms for use in Computer Training

(0)
These forms cover Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook as well as a basic users form. When planning computer training it is essential to have an idea of the skill level of participants. You can hand out or email these forms to learners before or during a session. They simply fill them out and return them. You can then use the information to split up groups into appropriate skill levels or just for general content planning for the session. I have also included a Feedback form that can be used to hand out after the session. They are in Word format so that you can easily remove or add any of the skills. I have used these for corporate groups and community groups successfully.
