Three methods of technical training needs Analysis
1. Technical Profiling

Competence Assessment
Competence Assessment (CAS) is a practical skills test measured against standard criteria where a candidate demonstrates that they can actually do and complete specified tasks. A wide range of tasks can be completed in a day and sufficient variety to assess skilled multi skill craftsmen.
Plant needs assessment
This takes the form of a plant and equipment review to determine the skills needed to maintain the plant and respond to breakdowns. This can be particularly useful where new plant and equipment is installed in an older plant.
