IITT launches new TPMA programme

September 22, 2008

The Institute of IT Training today announced the launch of its new Trainer Performance Monitoring & Assessment Service (TPMA) programme.
‘The role of the trainer is constantly changing and evolving,” explained the IITT’s chief executive Colin Steed.

‘The Institute of IT Training has recognised the need for training managers to become empowered to assess, monitor and benchmark the performance of their own trainers, the outcome of which is contributory to the achievement of an accredited qualification, as recognised on the Qualifications and Credit Framework.”

Trainers will be assessed in a live environment by organisations appointed by the IITT.

Trainers are scored using Key Performance Indicators against each of the 10 Competency Measures. This allows measurement of each trainer’s performance and development, setting benchmarks for trainers and highlighting areas for development. Key Development Indicators outline areas for improvement, and can be used as part of an organisation’s appraisal process.

The assessors report can be used to obtain the IITT Certified Trainer Certificate and an optional National Award (PTLLS). This nationally-recognised Award, through the Qualifications Credit Framework, is portable.
