Personal training needs analysis (Aspiring Heads)

Introduction

This exercise is to help you identify what your individual training needs are in order to sustain a happy and healthy career as you move towards headship. It's important to ensure that as you work towards the achievement of your career goals, the training you embark upon is fit for purpose.

This tool will help you to review the training and support you may need in achieving your goals.

It will take you through a step-by-step process to ensure you:

  • remind yourself of your goals in light of your career aspirations and prior development planning
  • assess what skills, knowledge and behaviours you need in order to achieve those goals
  • rate each of those skills so that you can prioritise your development needs
  • prepare for the training and acquisition of those skills, knowledge and behaviours.
