2. A systems approach to training (SAT) is a comprehensive method that considers the entire training process as an integrated system, designed to produce specific outcomes. This approach emphasizes the interconnectivity and interdependence of all components of the training process, from the initial analysis of training needs to the design, development, conduct, evaluation and validation of training programmes. The goal of the SAT is to ensure that training is efficiently and effectively aligned with the objectives of an organization or specific roles within the organization.
