The Philippine Society for Talent Development, Inc. (PSTD) is a professional organization for practitioners in the field of Training and Development in the Philippines. It is committed to the professional development of its members as well as the development of the profession itself. As one of its flagship programs, PSTD has developed the Master Trainer Certification Program (MTCP) to help Training and Development (T&D) Professionals master the art of demonstrating the fundamentals of effective training. T&D professionals must be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) on Training Needs Analysis (TNA) in order to accurately assess gaps in current competency levels, to successfully secure buy-in from upper management, and to effectively justify and measure a return on investment for the proposed intervention.

Course Description

The Training Needs Analysis (TNA) program is a three-day course that aims to equip the Learning and Development (L&D) Professionals who find the need to refine or strengthen their competencies in preparing a TNA and Learning Evaluation plan and identify as well as develop the appropriate data gathering methodologies. The course aims to introduce the practitioner to the importance of measuring and evaluating learning. This is followed through by teaching the basics of research methodology and its place in the L&D function. It is enforced by introducing Kirkpatrick’s 4 Levels of Evaluation, Alliger’s Augmented Levels of Effectiveness Model as a framework for the creation of an L&D Evaluation Plan. A re-entry plan will be prepared by the participants as a post-training output where each participant shall detail courses of action focused on transferring their learnings to their workplace and acquiring the needed competencies to qualify for Master Trainer Certification.
