This paper describes ISCN's activities to perform training needs and training providers' surveys, with the objective of facilitating needs analysis; identifying potential gaps in the provision of training; and assisting training providers to optimize their use of existing training capabilities to meet those needs. The baseline training needs and training providers' surveys conducted by the US DOE/NNSA International Nuclear Safeguards and Engagement Program (INSEP) in 2011 are described and then the follow-up surveys of 2015, performed by ISCN, and their results are succinctly explained. A new survey was conducted in 2017 (and expanded in 2018) aimed at countries with Small Quantities Protocols in their safeguards agreements. The results of these surveys and the follow-up actions mandated by the Asia Pacific Safeguards Network (APSN) are also included in this paper.
