In need assessment two fundamental aspects of "knowledge" and "skill", were studied in current and ideal situations. Data collection was performed through using questionnaire and interview. The results showed that the trainerʹs performance in "knowledge" aspect is acceptable but more attention should be paid to their educational skill especially in computer, information technology and ESP (English for special purposes) fields.
