Training Needs Analysis, from Measurement to Impact
A connected journey that measures technical, behavioural and leadership competencies for each job family, explains the gap for each competency and its sources, turns it into individual development plans and a training plan, and ends with impact measurement.
Also known as: training needs analysis, TNA, skills gap analysis, individual development plan, annual training plan, training needs assessment Saudi Arabia, TNA Riyadh, skills gap assessment Saudi Arabia
Needs and impactTraining Needs Analysis
Many training plans are built on employee wishes or catalogue lists rather than measured gaps, so budgets are spent without clear impact.
Mijhar measures competencies from several sources — tests, 360 feedback, manager surveys and performance results — and every report explains how each level was calculated, the required and achieved levels, evidence sources and confidence, then links each gap to a development plan.
We deliver Training Needs Analysis for government, semi-government, private and non-profit organisations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Khobar and across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, in person or online, in Arabic and English.

Questions about Training Needs Analysis
Which competencies are measured?+
Three categories: technical, behavioural and leadership, each with proficiency levels and indicators from your framework or the competency library.
How are the level and gap calculated?+
The level combines available sources with set weights; the required and achieved levels and the gap threshold are shown with sources and confidence, and no missing source is counted as zero.
Do we need ready job descriptions?+
No. You can start from job descriptions or from each role's tasks; the AI assistant helps build competencies and indicators for your team to approve.
Does the training plan integrate with our LMS?+
Yes. Development and training plans are exported to feed whichever LMS you use.
How much does Training Needs Analysis cost?+
The cost depends on the number of participants, the scope and the tools used. We send a detailed quotation after understanding your needs — request a demo and you will receive it within two working days.
