HRDF CERTIFIED AND ACCREDITED TRAINERS
Trainer refers to a Professional Trainer certified or accredited by HRDF. Under the HRDF Trainers Development Framework, Trainers will be categorised as follows:
- Trainers who successfully completed the 5 days HRDF Train-The-Trainer (TTT) certification course and certified by lead trainers are recognised as TTT Certified Trainers.
- Trainers who successfully obtained an exemption for the TTT course based on certification, qualification or experience are recognised as TTT Exempted Trainers.
- TTT Certified or TTT Exempted Trainers who have gone through accreditation by assessment process - evaluated and certified by HRDF appointed panels as competent and recognised as HRDF Accredited
- TTT Certified or TTT Exempted Trainers who have gone through accreditation by activity process, certified competent based on 120 hours of training hours completed are recognised as HRDF Accredited Trainers.
As a HRDF Accredited Trainer, your training is claimable to HRDF Registered employer. The quality of a training programme not only depends on the training facilities, it is also highly dependent on the quality of trainers conducting the training. The implementation of HRDF-TDF will create a pool of competent and skilled Trainer professionals. This will support the human capital development needs of the nation through better quality and more effective training delivery. The HRDF Accredited Trainer status would only be applicable within HRDF training landscape that covers various schemes offered by HRDF.
