This guide for the providers of training for trainers details the core (job) competencies required for the majority of specialist training jobs. Its purpose is to provide a basis from which the planning and development of training for trainers can proceed. Introductory materials include definitions of the roles of the trainers, other definitions, meanings of the various headings used in the job competency statements, and definitions of competency levels. A table indicates, for each competency, the level of competency needed by the different types of trainers. A description of the target population (trainers) is followed by an outline of modules that includes target population, purpose, and a list of competencies covered. The 31 job competency statements comprise the bulk of this specification. A chart specifies performance measure, competency level for trainer, and instructional setting. Under each numbered statement of job competency are listed the knowledges and skills that enable competence. The competencies are organized under seven topics: analysis of training, design and development of training, delivery of training, evaluation of training, management of training, management of trainers, and trainer's self-development. A glossary of terms is appended. (YLB)
