CONCEPT PAPER
Training of Trainers:
Recognizing the importance of trainers in the training function, the Training Division started the
Trainer Development Programme in the early 1990s. Initially faculty members of various
training institutions were developed as Master Trainers and Recognized User of various training
of trainers (ToT) packages in collaboration with the Thames Valley University of U.K. Over a
period of time indigenous mechanisms were evolved for developing a cadre of professional
trainers and resource persons in the country to create a cascading and multiplier effect. The
programme has gone a long way in embedding the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) into
the process of designing and imparting effective training to government officials. Currently, the
following programmes are sponsored under Trainer Development Programme at training
institutions across the country: -
(1) Direct Trainer Skills (DTS) course:
The aim of the Direct Trainer Skills (DTS) course is to provide an opportunity for the trainers to
develop their basic instructional skills to enable them to make an effective contribution to their
institution’s training courses.
(2) Introduction to SAT Course:
This is a short, intensive Package with inputs from all the four packages consisting Systematic
Approach to Training (SAT) Cycle namely, Training Needs Analysis (TNA), Design of Training
(DoT), Direct Trainer Skills (DTS), Evaluation of Training (EoT) with scope for individual and
team exercises/activities. The complete training material including visuals of all the four Courses
will be provided to the participants in soft copy. The Target Group envisaged for the Combined
Package consists of Heads of Training Institutions, senior officers joining in training
institutions/departments, Heads of district-level training institutions, occasional trainers/guest
faculty, etc.
(3) Mentoring Skills:
The Mentoring Skills course is intended to help participants develop competencies to carry out
mentoring tasks, commensurate with their role responsibilities and status in their respective
organisations. This is not a ‘taught’ course. Rather, it is a series of practical learning activities -
mostly simulated by means of a case study. Participants are there for expected to take active
responsibility both for their own learning and by contributing to group activities. The aim of the
Mentoring Skills Course is to help selected members of staff to acquire an understanding of the
concept of mentoring, and the skills to carry out the duties of a mentor. The course provides an
introduction to the concept and processes of mentoring; it also includes an intense opportunity to
acquire essential skills.
(4) Facilitation Skills Course:
The aim of the Facilitation Skills Course is to help participants develop an understanding about
the process of Facilitation and to develop some of the core skills. The Course provides and
introduction to the concept and processes of facilitation and an opportunity to develop core
skills. The Facilitation skills course is intended to help participants develop their understanding
of the key processes within facilitation and to develop competencies relevant to the role of a
Facilitator. This is not a ‘taught’ course. Rather, it is a series of practical learning activities.
Participants are therefore expected and encouraged to take an active role and responsibility for
their own learning and for the learning of the group by contributing to all learning activities.
Tutor, peer and individual feedback will also be given during the workshop to support skills
development
(5) Evaluation of Training (EoT):
The Evaluation of Training (EoT) course establishes a framework within which decisions can be
made. Should a particular course continue to be run? How can it be improved? What response
has been made to TNA consultancy report? How effective is distance learning in meeting
government’s intention to provide training for all? These are typical questions asked when
carrying out EoT.
(6) Experiential Learning Tools (ELT)
Earlier DTS-II - Experiential Learning Tools course aims at equipping the participants with
skills relevant to the learner-centered training-process through the mode of experiential learning;
particularly in the application of identified training methodologies namely Case Study, Field
Visit and Role Play; besides appropriately using Skill Development Exercises.
