HOW WE DO IT
Our original plan was to do one week program of the train the trainer. However due to heavy commitment, we are not able to schedule program thus delaying the plan. The next alternative is to send them for the external course. As the course is conducted by a government agency, the cost is rather low.
We also identify the competencies required. Basically is will be putting the requirements that the trainers should be able to:
- deliver a course
- prepare the training notes
- make the suitable presentation material and graphic
- carry out the assessment.
