learning needs analysis (LNA)CheckUP PEOPLE Training Solutions can offer your organisation a robust review and evaluation of workforce learning and development needs. The LNA process considers the skills, knowledge and behaviours that your staff need and how best to develop them to make your organisation a success. An LNA results in a learning and development plan which is linked to your organisational and individual employee objectives.

delivery methods CheckUP offers flexible training courses designed to suit busy professionals working in health or community services.

Our courses can be tailored to suit individual, small groups, organisation or wider community needs.

MIXED MODE – combines traditional classroom learning with web and telephone based support. Since classroom time is limited, mixed mode offers a convenient alternative for students.

DISTANCE – offers distance learning, which is supported, by experienced tutors. Our distance learners receive regular telephone and email support, and in some cases, are networked with other learners who are completing the same course.

ON DEMAND – takes the flexible approach of scheduling some courses and providing others ‘on demand’. We wait list enquiries from individuals or organisations so once minimum participant numbers are met, workshop dates are scheduled and offered. Courses can be provided in locations outside Brisbane, if minimum numbers are met.

WEBINAR – offers interactive web based seminars.

IN HOUSE – offers individual organisations in-house training for any of the skill sets or short courses where minimum numbers (15 students) are met.
