Identify the starting skills behind a training request
A needs assessment should reveal what people can already do independently and where work breaks down. Use practical tasks and self-reported difficulties together rather than relying on job titles.
An illustrative practice exercise
In an illustrative Excel team, some staff can enter data but struggle with formulas, while others need repeatable reporting. A single advanced class would not address both needs equally.
- Collect representative tasks without confidential data.
- Ask learners to explain their current method.
- Group needs by prerequisite and intended outcome.
Check the result
Distinguish a missing skill from a system or process problem. Training may help with a formula workflow but cannot fix an unreliable source dataset by itself.
Confirm the right training scope
Use the Excel skills assessment and course outlines as starting references. For a team recommendation, send learner numbers, applications and examples; a formal assessment engagement requires an agreed scope.
