Overview

Training plans fail when they are built from what people ask for, show course fees but not cover or travel, and measure nothing beyond satisfaction. This template starts with a needs analysis, assigns training by role, sets out the learning methods, schedules delivery around trading peaks, costs every line and ends with a scorecard.

The sample is a 2027 plan for Bramblewood Services: 420 colleagues, 24 hours each and a £268,000 budget, with figures that agree on every page. Replace the skills ratings, roles, providers, dates, budget lines and targets with your own, then delete the guide page before you share the plan.

Useful for

  • An annual learning and development plan presented to the CFO and the executive committee
  • A skills gap analysis that turns survey results into costed courses for each role
  • A mandatory training schedule that books refreshers before certificates expire

What's included

  • A cover page and a needs analysis with a trend chart, a donut of planned hours and key findings
  • A training-by-role agenda with hours, methods, providers and a launch checklist
  • A methods page showing the 70/20/10 learning flow and the mandatory refresher escalation
  • A schedule with a milestone timeline and a 12-month Gantt chart with owners
  • A budget table with cost, hours and cost per head, a quarterly chart and a reserve callout
  • An evaluation scorecard with targets, trends and status, plus a Make it yours page

Questions

How do I set the training budget?

Start from hours per head and cost per head, then add cover and travel. The sample uses 2% of payroll, which is £638 per head and 24 hours each.

Are the company and figures real?

No. Bramblewood Services, its people, providers and every figure are fictional and exist only to show a well-built training plan.

Does it cover mandatory training?

Yes. The methods page shows a refresher flow that starts 90 days before expiry, and the schedule and budget have lines for compliance courses.
