Training Analysis examines the needs of the organisation to identify what areas of knowledge or skills that the provision of training needs to accomplish with participants, so that they can meet organizational goals. Training Analysis identifies when training should take place, who should attend the training, and establishes the criteria for evaluation of the training to conclude if the goals were met.

Training Design is the setting out of a framework and the development of the material for a training course or learning programme, with learning objectives designed to achieve the goals of performance, or behavioural change needs identified in the analysis phase.

Training Delivery is the process of delivering the training course or learning programme, which can be delivered through different mediums, each of which has it advantages and disadvantages.

Training Evaluation is the process of measuring the achievement of the training course or learning programme from the criteria established in the training analysis phase.
