A training or development cycle is a model that can be usedto represent a systematic approach to training and development. It helps businesses identify the series of sequential steps they need to undertake when training and developing staff. The key steps are:
· Identification of training needs
· Design of the training or development programme
· Delivery of training
· Evaluation
The cycle demonstrates, that the steps should be viewed in their entirety and not be seen as a series of isolated activities. This means that the outcome of one stage provides the inputs for the next stage and the absence of any stage would undermine the validity of the whole process.
