The annual training plan template

A training plan template is a reusable framework for planning learning across a team or a year. It connects business goals to the competencies people need, maps those to roles, organizes the curriculum into modules, schedules delivery, and defines how you'll assess and track progress. Ours covers all five steps on a single, editable plan.

A strong annual plan includes: the goals and competencies you're building, the audiences and roles that need them, a curriculum broken into sequenced modules, a delivery schedule with owners and due dates, and an assessment-and-tracking method tied back to the goals. The template above prompts you through each of these.

A curriculum is the set of modules and their sequence — the 'what' of learning. A training plan is broader: it also covers who needs the training, when it's delivered, who owns it, and how success is measured. The curriculum is one section of the wider plan.

Tie each module to a measurable goal, then track two things: completion (did people finish?) and impact (did the target competency or metric improve?). Review results each quarter and adjust the plan — drop modules that don't move the goal and reinforce the ones that do.

Yes — the plan template is free to download and edit. Feed the curriculum into ContentBuilder and AI builds each module into an interactive course with lessons, video, and quizzes, assigned to roles and tracked against your goals, free to start.
