If you’re looking to improve your instructional design, or human resource efforts, look no further…

Here are 3 needs assessment videos that will show you when to use the right method (for your training) without messing around with all that “instructional theory” stuff.

There’s 7 minutes of instructional design consulting in these 3 videos, and if I were you, I’d make time to watch all 3 of them.

You’re likely aware of at least one of them, but are you familiar with all three?

Keep reading to find out.

1. Competency Skills Assessment Method

This assessment method deals with knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and measures proficiency in certain tasks.

2. Knowledge Skills Assessment Method

This assessment method is for building an inventory of all the knowledge for a specific job.

3. Job Task Analysis Method

This assessment method focuses on two things: tasks & responsibilities.

The Bottom Line

No matter where you are in your instruction or training endeavors, much of this can apply to you.

If you’re an instruction designer, corporate trainer, coach, or human resource professional, or anything like that, you should bookmark this page and watch each of these videos at least once.

If you’ve seen these videos, I’d love to know what you think. Did you implement any of this advice? Did you get results? Share it in the comments.
