1. TNA proforma
   Cath asks for a TNA pro-forma suitable for small not-for-profits.

   A well designed TNA form should work in any organisation irrespective of its financial goals. The only thing that changes is the developmental agenda, purpose and budget.

   From my experience there are 4 main elements to a TNA:
   1) What is it that they can do at the moment in terms of skills/ behaviours etc
   2) what do you want the person to do that they cannot currently do
   3)Why do you want them to do this? What value will it add (to who)
   4) What are you planning to do about the need

   There are 3 diff types of TNA process:
   Individual development needs
   Team needs
   Organisational needs

   Any organisation may have needs an all areas. The key is to focus the process on the goal in mind. In your case the development of the individual to achieve a particular learning objective.

   I have resources on http://www.trainerbase.co.uk & http://www.rapidbi.com/resource.html which includes a TNA pro-former.

   This proforma was originally designed for a hospital (80% female staff) where we wanted a common system for all irrespective of their experience or level.

   Hope this helps

   Have you thought about contacting either a sister organisation or your local volunteer centre, council for voluntary services as most do have examples or staff members that could assist you in the process. I know of a colleague who did a google search and adapted one they found
