Training needs analyses

At CEPOL, we design our training portfolio building on the outcomes of operational training needs analyses. We regularly conduct Operational Training Needs Analyses (OTNAs) on the priority topics defined by the EU Strategic Training Needs Assessment. The aim of these analyses is to get a detailed understanding of the number and profile of officials to be trained as well as on the proficiency and urgency of training to be delivered.

In addition, we also conduct ad hoc Training Needs Analyses (TNAs) responding to emerging needs.
