TVET Micro-credentials: A Boon for Malaysia’s Industry, Powered by NCS-TTT Certified Trainers

TTT, , ,

TVET Micro-Credentials

There are two parts to this, TVET and Micro-Credentials.

TVET is known as Technical and Vocational Education and Training.

As for the definition of Micro-Credentials, UNESCO organised a global expert panel to reach a consensus on a definition, which resulted in a report titled Towards a Common Definition of Micro-credentials in 2022.

The report proposed a definition of a micro-credential as “a record of focused learning achievement verifying what the learner knows, understands or can do”. It also “includes an assessment based on clearly defined standards”, “is awarded by a trusted provider”, “may also contribute to or complement other micro-credentials or macro-credentials through recognition of prior learning” and “meets the standards required by relevant quality assurance”

Micro-credentials are short courses but not all short courses are micro-credentials. Accordingly, pre-determined standards are employed to assess micro-credential learners’ achievements and the awarding body also has to meet several standards to qualify as a trusted provider. Unlike many short courses, micro-credentials are stackable, which means that they can lead to a degree or certification. While many short courses lack external quality assurance, micro-credentials go through a quality assurance process.

The global trend towards micro-credentials presents exciting opportunities for Malaysia’s Department of Skills Development (DSD) and the TVET industry as a whole. Let’s explore how this new approach to learning aligns with the needs of Malaysian employers and workforce development, with a particular focus on the crucial role of NCS-TTT certified trainers.

Boosting Employability with Stackable Skills

Similar to the global scenario, Malaysian employers struggle to find workers with the exact skillsets needed. DSD’s TVET micro-credential programs can address this gap by offering targeted training modules focused on in-demand skills. These modules can be stacked together to create a customized skillset relevant to specific job requirements.

Imagine an aspiring drone pilot acquiring a TVET micro-credential in “Rotary Drone Flying Operation” followed by another in “Ecommerce Marketing.” These stackable credentials demonstrate expertise valued by employers, enhancing the individual’s competitiveness in the job market.

NCS-TTT: Equipping Trainers for Micro-credential Delivery

The success of DSD’s micro-credential program hinges on the quality of trainers delivering these programs. The National Competency Standard Train-the-Trainer (NCS-TTT) program, offered by the Department of Skills Development (DSD) via accredited training centres such as I Smart Educare, ensures trainers possess the necessary skills to effectively develop, deliver, and assess micro-credential programs.

What is NCS-TTT?

The NCS-TTT program equips trainers with the competencies to:

  • Understand how adults learn
  • Perform training needs analysis
  • Design and conduct effective training sessions
  • Assess participants’ course learning outcomes

Trainers who successfully complete the NCS-TTT program receive a certification, signifying their expertise in delivering competency-based training programs like micro-credentials.

Train The Trainer Certification - NCS-TTT

Benefits of NCS-TTT for Micro-credential Trainers

  • Enhanced Training Delivery: NCS-TTT equips trainers with the pedagogical skills to deliver engaging and effective micro-credential programs, maximizing learning outcomes for participants.
  • Industry Alignment: The program emphasizes designing training aligned with current industry needs, ensuring micro-credentials equip learners with the most relevant skills.
  • Quality Assurance: NCS-TTT certified trainers uphold high standards in developing and delivering micro-credentials, fostering trust and credibility in the program.

TVET & Universities: Collaboration, Not Competition

Just like universities worldwide, Malaysian universities are no longer capable of providing skills-based credentials. The DSD’s TVET micro-credential programs can complement university education by offering focused, industry-aligned training. This fosters collaboration, not competition, between TVET institutions and universities.

Universities could potentially offer micro-credentials alongside traditional degrees or recognize DSD-issued credentials for credit within their programs. This creates a more dynamic and flexible learning ecosystem catering to diverse student needs.

Recognition and Quality Assurance: Building Trust

The success of TVET micro-credentials hinges on quality assurance and industry recognition. DSD’s program should establish clear criteria for awarding these credentials and collaborate with industry leaders to ensure their relevance to current job requirements.

Following frameworks like the UNESCO definition and quality assurance processes will build trust in DSD’s TVET micro-credentials among employers and learners alike.

The Future of Skills Development

TVET micro-credentials offer a shorter, more cost-effective way to acquire in-demand skills compared to traditional TVET programs. This caters to the needs of working professionals seeking to upskill or those seeking faster entry into the workforce.

The DSD’s TVET micro-credential program, if implemented strategically, can position Malaysia’s TVET system at the forefront of skills development. It can equip the workforce with the agility and adaptability needed to thrive in the ever-changing job market.

Navigating the Maze: Choosing the Right Trainer Certificate in Malaysia

TTT, VTO/I-031-3:2014, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Which Trainer Certificate?

The Malaysian training landscape offers a variety of trainer certificates, leaving aspiring trainers wondering which one holds the key to success. This article aims to demystify the options and help you choose the most suitable path for your career goals.

In-Demand Trainer Certificates:

While specific needs vary across industries, some trainer certificates are consistently sought-after in Malaysia:

A) National Competency Standard - Train The Trainer (NCS-TTT)

This certificate equips you with fundamental training and assessment skills, making it a broad and versatile option.

Train The Trainer Certification - NCS-TTT

It  is nationally recognized trainer certificate that allows you to be:

a) Qualified as an Assessor (Pegawai Penilai) for Modular@Micro-Credential programs in JPK Accredited centres (demand is getting higher with more centres offering Micro Credential programs) AND 

b) A HRDC Exempted TTT Trainer

You may apply for exemption of HRDC-TTT Exempted with your NCS-TTT certificate with just RM300 application fee. It opens doors to various opportunities in the Malaysian training landscape, particularly within the corporate sector.

Train the Trainer Certification - HRDCTTT exemption

This programme would enable you to:

1. Determine training requirement (Training Needs Analysis@TNA)
2. Design training course (Session Plan)
3. Conduct training (presentation skills)
4. Conduct training evaluation

B) Human Resource Development Corporation - Train-the-Trainer (HRDC-TTT)

If you aim to train within the corporate sector, this certificate caters specifically to the needs of this environment.

Trainer Certificate - HRDC-TTT
  • Conduct HRDF-claimable training programs: The HRDF (Human Resource Development Fund) is a government initiative that allows employers to utilize their levy contribution to train their employees. Trainers with HRDC-TTT certification are eligible to conduct training programs under HRDF schemes, making them valuable assets to companies seeking to upskill or reskill their workforce.
  • Offer independent corporate training services: If you possess entrepreneurial spirit, the HRDC-TTT certificate allows you to become a freelance trainer and offer your services indirectly (via approved HRD Training Provider) to companies seeking corporate training solutions.

C) Vocational Training Operation @ VTO

Vocational Training Operation (VTO) has always been the preferred skills trainer certificate by many in the skills industry, including but not limited to the cosmetology, automotive, IT, hospitality, office administration, early childhood etc.

It was high in demand due to it being a compulsory vocational trainer certification for the appointment as an Assessor@PP in ALL the JPK Accredited centres that offers skills@TVET courses, leading to a Malaysian Skills Certificate@Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia.

Trainer Certificate - VTO (Eng)

However, VTO NOSS has been phased out beginning July 2022. You also cannot apply for VTO skills trainer certificate any more via Recognition of Prior Learning@Pengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu (PPT) with your years of technical training experience. 

Nevertheless, you can still attend VTO* course for now (last year). You need to attend a 6 mths, part time course followed by a 6 mths internship at a JPK Accredited training centre. 

Pre-requisite: Must have a SKM3 in any field.

*VTO certification is still recognised as a qualification for the appointment of Assessor@PP in JPK Accredited centre (Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB).

D) TVET Instruction @ TVETi

As we move on to a more digital era, especially post COVID, certain delivery of training are going digital. Hence, TVETi (Level 4) is an upgrade of VTO (Level 3) whereby 2 new Competency Units (CU) replaced some CU in VTO NOSS (refer to the table below (highlighted in red):
CU2 – WA 3&4 (WIM) and
CU4 – Digital Training Implementation 

If you still want to apply for a skills trainer certificate@TVET-i via the training experience method, you need to have the following: 

  1. More than 5 years of skills training experience
  2. Pass SPM BM & Sejarah (if taken post 2013)
  3. Performed ALL the Work Activities listed in the TVET Instruction (TVET-i) NOSS during your years of training experience (refer to the charts below)
TVETi CU1-2
TVETi CU3-6

If you do not fulfill the above requirement, the only choice you have is to attend the 1 year VTO course (part time) or TVET-i course full time (9 months in CIAST & it’s satellite campuses around Malaysia)

Do You Really Need VTO/TVET-i Trainer Certificate?

But then, more importantly, you need to ask yourself, do you really need VTO or TVET-i certificate?

Many may not know, in fact, been misled by unscrupulous consultants, that it’s actually unnecessary to have a VTO or TVET-i skills trainer certificate, unless you want to be an Assessor/Pegawai Penilai (PP)* in any JPK Accredited centre (Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB)

* You also need to pair with your SKM3/DKM & PP-PPD-PPB induction cert to be appointed as PP.

If you just plan to teach any programs without issuing SKM certificate via a JPK Accredited centre, it is NOT COMPULSORY to have VTO or TVET-i skills trainer certificate. I know the industry has been somewhat brainwashed to obtain the VTO and now probably TVET-i cert (and being charged exorbitantly, almost double of what the VTO accredited centres are charging!).

E) NDTS Trainer

Another trainer certificate that is needed within the Malaysian Skills Certification System is the trainer appointed at National Dual Training System training centres that conducts theoretical training only.

Trainer Certificate - NDTS Trainer Training Programme

Choosing your Trainer Certificate

The best trainer certificate for you depends on your career aspirations and target audience:

  • For general training: NCS-TTT offers a broad foundation.
  • For corporate training: HRDC-TTT (which includes NCS-TTT, since it can be exempted) specializes in the corporate setting.
  • For vocational training:
    a) NCS-TTT for Modular@Micro Credential certification programs
    b) VTO or TVETi for SKM/DKM/DLKM certification programs
    c) NDTS Trainer for theoretical training in a NDTS setup.

Remember: When choosing your trainer certificate, consider your career goals, target audience and budget. Consult with training providers (preferably accredited by Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) and/or registered with Human Resource Development Corporation (HRDC), like ISE Education Sdn Bhd) and industry professionals to gain further insights and make an informed decision.

How to be a Qualified Skills Trainer in the Malaysian Skills Certification System

Kursus Induksi PP-PPD/PP-PPT/PPL, TTT, VTO/I-031-3:2014, , , , , , , , , ,

What is a Skills Trainer?

A skills trainer is an industry practitioner equipped with certain skills dedicated to helping individuals learn and enhance specific skills. They can be teachers, coaches, mentors, or experts in their respective fields, who impart knowledge and expertise to adults seeking to develop in a particular area. From educational institutions to businesses and online platforms, skills trainers can be found in various settings. By leveraging their expertise, these trainers empower students and employees to strengthen their skill sets, ultimately preparing them for successful careers ahead.

Now, in the context of Malaysian Skills Certification System, a skills trainer is a personnel in an accredited centre that fulfills the requirement and certified by Director General (Ketua Pengarah) to train the students/candidates at the determined accredited centre.

Skills trainer, also commonly called as tenaga pengajar kemahiran in Malay by most, either serve/appointed at SLaPB or NDTS training centres.

* For BM version, kindly read at Tenaga Pengajar Kemahiran

1. Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) Accredited Centre under SLaPB

This is something like an academy/college, where training is 100% institution based.

As a skills trainer, you would be required to teach the students theoretical knowledge & perform practical, all within the institution (read here if you’re interested to set up a Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB )

Your students would be mainly school leavers, with or without SPM. Yes, you didn’t read wrongly, SPM is not needed to pursue a skills course or now popularly known as TVET courses.

There are actually 3 categories of skills trainer in a Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB; namely;

1. Tutor/lecturer/trainer @ Tenaga pengajar (TP)
2. Assesseor @ Pegawai Penilai (PP)
3. Assessor for Modular programs @ Pegawai Penilai Modular (PP-M).

1.1 Tenaga Pengajar

As a TP, your role is just to teach the students, whether it’s theory or practical. You would not be able to assess, hence couldn’t sign & give marks to your students’ portfolio. 

To qualify as Tenaga Pengajar, you only need to pass induksi PP-PPD-PPB, besides having working experience and being competent in the program being taught.

1.2 Pegawai Penilai (PP)

As a PP, your role is not just limited to teach but also assess the students in theory and practical.

Every JPK Accredited Centre MUST have this personnel (besides the internal verifier-PPD & centre manager-PPB) as part of the requirement to get program accreditation by JPK. Hence, PP is a VERY critical personnel in any Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB (in my view, the most critical one, despite being at the bottom of the organisation chart).

To qualify as a PP, you need to have:

1. Induksi PP-PPD-PPB certificate
2. Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (usually minimum Level 3)
3. VTO or TVET-i certificate (trainer cert)

1.3 Pegawai Penilai Modular (PP-M)

Just like PP, your role is not just limited to teach but also assess the students in theory and practical. However, as a PP-M, you can only be appointed for Modular programs (as the name suggest),

In JPK’s context, modular@micro credential program refers to micro-qualifications awarded for training programs implemented in a modular manner over a shorter period of time. It is developed based on a Competency Unit (CU) or Work Activity (WA) or a combination of CU or a combination of WA for the specific competence of a National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS).

To qualify as a PP-M, you need to have:

1. Induksi PP-PPD-PPB certificate
2. Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia or Statement of Achievement (PC) for the program to be appointed as PP-M; AND
3. VTO/TVET-i certificate or NCS-TTT (trainer cert)

2. National Dual Training System (NDTS) Training Centre

This is an industrial based training, where 20-30%  of training is done at training centre and balance 70-80% is done at workplace.

As a NDTS skills trainer, you are only required to teach theoretical modules in the training centre.

The practical part would be handled by the NDTS coaches at the company/workplace.

Your apprentices would either be the existing or new work force of the NDTS company. 

To qualify as a NDTS Trainer, you need to have:

1. Induksi SLDN certificate
2. Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia/Diploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia/Diploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia/Diploma/Degree in relevant field AND 1 year of relevant teaching experience OR qualification in the particular field AND 3 years of relevant teaching experience
3. Passed NDTS Trainer Training Programme (4 days f2f programme)

Train the Trainer Course: How to Achieve Effective Training in Malaysia

TTT, , , , , , , ,

Train The Trainer Course

Train The Trainer course (TTT) is well-known in Malaysia, with HRD Corp-TTT under the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) being one of the most popular options.

However, you may not be aware there is also the NCS-TTT program under the Department of Skills Development (DSD) or more well known as Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) and also OSH-TTT Competency Based Programme by National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Here we will mainly discuss the differences between HRD Corp-TTT & NCS-TTT and highlight the benefits of the NCS-Train The Trainer course, including increased career opportunities and the ability to obtain two certificates by just attending one course.

Untuk versi Bahasa Malaysia, sila baca sini.

1. HRD Corp-TTT

Trainer refers to a Professional Trainer certified or accredited by HRD Corp. Under the HRD Trainers Development Framework, Trainers will be categorised as follows:

TTT Certified Trainers

  • Trainers who successfully completed the 5 days HRD Train The Trainer course (TTT) and certified by lead trainers are recognised as TTT Certified Trainers.

TTT Exempted Trainers

  • Trainers who successfully obtained an exemption for the TTT course based on certification (eg NCS-TTT), qualification or experience are recognised as TTT Exempted Trainers.

HRD Corp Accredited Trainers

  • TTT Certified or TTT Exempted Trainers who have gone through accreditation by assessment process – evaluated and certified by HRD Corp appointed panels as competent and recognised as HRD Corp 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 HRD Corp Accredited Trainers.

As a HRD Corp Accredited Trainer, your training is claimable to HRD Corp 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 HRD-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 HRD Corp Accredited Trainer status would only be applicable within HRD Corp training landscape that covers various schemes offered by HRD Corp.

Please read here for further information in English.

2. NCS-TTT

The NCS-004:2017 (TTT) is a National Competency Standard under the Department of Skills Development, Ministry of Human Resources. It falls under the National Skills Development Act 2006 (NASDA), and the certificate is awarded by the Department of Skills Development.

If you wish to be a trainer (or more specifically, Assessor for Modular programs; PP-M) in skill-based programs where your candidates can be certified with the Statements of Achievement (PC), you SHOULD have this Train the Trainer certificate.

Train The Trainer Certification - NCS-TTT

NCS - Train the Trainer Course: Competency Units@Modules

Train The Trainer Course - NCS-TTT Training Hours

Career and Business Opportunities

  • Increase your income as a trainer (Tenaga Pengajar-TP) or Assessor (Pegawai Penilai-PP) for Modular programs (PP-M) at private/public JPK accredited centers (such as Despark International College, SG Academy, Alpine Skills College, Vis Mechatronic College, Federation of Malaysian Skills Development Centres (PSDC, PESDC, SHRDC etc), Vocational Colleges, Polytechnics etc).
  • Also can be a trainer conducting HRD Corp claimable programmes (must obtain the HRD Corp-TTT exemption certificate first).
  • Expand business opportunities, such as bidding for teaching projects at government agencies, which generally require government-recognized train the trainer course certificates.
  • Give students confidence that you are a certified trainer.
  • Establish an accredited JPK Center for specific skills (Modular@Micro Credential programs), where the  Assessor (PP-M) needs to have a NCS-TTT certificate.

Advantages of NCS-TTT vs. HRD Corp-TTT

The main difference between the two is that with NCS-TTT, you do not need to take HRD Corp-Train the Trainer Course again; you are exempted from attending the course. 

Train The Trainer Course - HRDCorp TTT Exemption

If you have the NCS – TTT cert, you can apply to get exemption for HRD Corp – TTT but not vice versa.

Train the Trainer Certification : NCS vs HRD vs OSH

That’s the advantage of the National Competency Standard – Train The Trainer course (NCS-TTT) – invest in the course once only (RM2,800) and you can apply for HRD Corp-TTT exemption (RM300).
At the end of the day, you will get two certificates (NCS-TTT & HRD Corp-TTT cert of exemption). 

Do you know the difference between Trainer & Speaker?

Trainers and speakers are two different terms, although they are often used interchangeably. A speaker tends to give a lecture on a specific topic without providing specific training to develop worker skills, while a trainer focuses more on developing worker skills through structured and continuous training.

In addition to helping improve organizational productivity, a trainer can also contribute to an organization’s ESG goals. ESG goals encompass effective environmental, social, and financial management factors. Through proper training, organizations can improve their financial management, ensure effective use of resources, and reduce negative impacts on the environment.

A good trainer can help the human resources department plan their training needs with Training Needs Analysis (TNA). This will help organizations increase productivity by ensuring that their workers have the necessary skills to perform their tasks.

Moreover, through training, organizations can also contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals of Malaysia 2030. These goals encompass five key sectors: people’s well-being, the environment, the economy, institutions, and society. By developing worker skills, organizations can help achieve these goals and bring benefits to the Malaysian community as a whole.

In conclusion, selecting the right training is important to achieve maximum training effectiveness. NCS-TTT and HDRC-TTT are two popular train the trainer courses in Malaysia. In addition, a good trainer can assist the human resources department in designing their training needs through training needs analysis (TNA). Through proper training, organizations can also contribute to the ESG goals of the organization and the Sustainable Development Goals Malaysia 2030.

TTT - Train The Trainer

TTT yang anda mungkin lazim dengar sebelum ini mungkin adalah HRD Corp-TTT di bawah Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp).  

Namun begitu, terdapat juga program NCS-TTT di bawah Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) dan juga  OSH-TTT Competency Based Programme oleh Institut Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan Negara (NIOSH)

Di sini kita akan membincangkan perbezaan antara HRD Corp-TTT & NCS-TTT dan menyerlahkan faedah kursus NCS-TTT, termasuk peningkatan peluang kerjaya dan keupayaan untuk memperoleh dua sijil dengan hanya menghadiri satu kursus.

For English version, please read here

1. HRD Corp-TTT

Jurulatih merujuk kepada Jurulatih Profesional yang diperakui atau terakreditasi oleh HRD Corp. Di bawah Rangka Kerja Pembangunan Jurulatih HRD, Jurulatih dikategorikan seperti berikut:

Jurulatih Terakreditasi TTT

  • Jurulatih yang berjaya menamatkan kursus persijilan 5 hari HRD Train-The-Trainer (TTT) dan diperakui oleh jurulatih utama diiktiraf sebagai Pelatih Terakreditasi TTT.

Jurulatih Dikecualikan TTT

  • Jurulatih yang berjaya memperoleh pengecualian untuk kursus TTT berdasarkan pensijilan, kelayakan atau pengalaman diiktiraf sebagai Jurulatih Dikecualikan TTT.

Jurulatih Terakreditasi HRD Corp

  • Jurulatih yang terakreditasi TTT atau dikecualikan TTT yang melalui proses akreditasi berasaskan penilaian – dinilai dan disahkan oleh panel yang dilantik HRD Corp sebagai kompeten dan diiktiraf sebagai Terakreditasi HRD Corp 
  • Jurulatih terakreditasi TTT atau dikecualikan TTT yang telah melalui proses akreditasi melalui aktiviti, diperakui kompeten berdasarkan tempoh latihan 120 jam diselesaikan untuk diiktiraf sebagai Jurulatih Terakreditasi HRD Corp.

Sebagai Jurulatih Terakreditasi HRD Corp, latihan anda boleh dituntut kepada majikan Berdaftar HRD Corp. Kualiti program latihan tidak hanya bergantung kepada kemudahan latihan, tetapi juga bergantung kepada kualiti jurulatih yang menjalankan latihan. Pelaksanaan HRD-TDF akan menghasilkan kumpulan profesional Jurulatih yang kompeten dan mahir. Ini akan menyokong keperluan pembangunan modal insan negara melalui penyampaian latihan yang lebih berkualiti dan berkesan. Status Jurulatih Terakreditasi HRD Corp hanya berkesan dalam landskap latihan HRD Corp yang merangkumi pelbagai skim yang ditawarkan oleh HRD Corp.

Peluang Kerjaya & Perniagaan

  • Meningkatkan pendapatan anda, samada sebagai tenaga pengajar (TP) atau Pegawai Penilai program Modular (PP-M) di pusat bertauliah JPK Swasta/Awam (seperti Kolej Vokasional, Giatmara, Institut Latihan Perindustrian, Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara dll)
  • Anda juga boleh jadi Jurulatiah Terakdreditasi HRD Corp untuk mengendalikan program yang boleh membuat tuntutan HRD Corp (perlu dapat sijil pengecualian HRDC-TTT dulu)
  • Meluaskan peluang perniagaan, seperti tender projek mengajar di agensi kerajaan yang rata-ratanya perlu sijil pengajar yang diiktiraf oleh kerajaan
  • Memberi keyakinan kepada pelajar bahawa anda adalah tenaga pengajar bertauliah
  • Menubuhkan Pusat Bertauliah JPK yang ditauliahkan untuk bidang kemahiran tertentu (program Modular@Micro Credential) di mana Sijil NCS-TTT menjadi pra-syarat untuk jadi PP-M.

Kelebihan NCS-TTT vs HRDC-TTT

Perbezaan utama antara kedua-duanya ialah dengan NCS-TTT, anda tidak perlu mengikuti kursus HRD Corp-TTT lagi; anda boleh mohon untuk dapatkan sijil pengecualian HRD Corp-TTT dengan bayaran RM300 sahaja.

Train the Trainer Certification - HRDCTTT exemption

Jika anda mempunyai sijil NCS – TTT, anda boleh mohon (dengan bayaran RM300) untuk dapatkan pengecualian sijil HRD Corp – TTT tetapi bukan sebaliknya.

Pencerahan Trainer & Penceramah

Trainer dan penceramah merupakan dua istilah yang berbeza, walaupun sering kali digunakan secara bergantian. Seorang penceramah cenderung untuk memberikan ceramah tentang topik tertentu tanpa memberikan latihan khusus untuk mengembangkan kemahiran pekerja, manakala seorang trainer lebih tertumpu pada membangunkan kemahiran pekerja melalui latihan yang berstruktur dan berterusan.

Seorang trainer yang baik boleh membantu jabatan sumber manusia untuk merancang keperluan latihan mereka dengan analisis keperluan latihan (TNA – Training Needs Analysis). Ini akan membantu organisasi meningkatkan produktiviti dengan memastikan bahawa pekerja mereka mempunyai kemahiran yang diperlukan untuk melaksanakan tugas mereka.

Selain daripada membantu meningkatkan produktiviti organisasi, seorang trainer juga boleh menyumbang kepada matlamat ESG organisasi. Matlamat ESG merangkumi faktor-faktor alam sekitar, sosial dan pengurusan kewangan yang berkesan. Melalui latihan yang betul, organisasi boleh meningkatkan pengurusan kewangan mereka, memastikan keberkesanan penggunaan sumber daya dan mengurangkan kesan negatif terhadap alam sekitar.

Selain itu, melalui latihan, organisasi juga boleh menyumbang kepada matlamat Pembangunan Mampan Malaysia 2030. Matlamat ini merangkumi lima sektor utama, iaitu kesejahteraan rakyat, alam sekitar, ekonomi, institusi dan sosial. Dengan membangunkan kemahiran pekerja, organisasi boleh membantu mencapai matlamat ini dan membawa manfaat kepada masyarakat Malaysia secara keseluruhan.

Kesimpulannya, pemilihan latihan yang betul adalah penting untuk mencapai keberkesanan latihan yang maksimum. NCS-TTT dan HDRC-TTT merupakan dua program latihan yang popular di Malaysia. Selain itu, trainer yang baik boleh membantu jabatan sumber manusia untuk merancang keperluan latihan mereka dengan analisis keperluan latihan (TNA). Melalui latihan yang betul, organisasi juga boleh menyumbang kepada matlamat ESG organisasi dan matlamat Pembangunan Mampan Malaysia 2030.

合格讲师认证课程 证书 -NCS-TTT

想要获得国家认证，成为一位合格的技职培训师？

NCSTTT - Passed

合格讲师认证课程

“讲师培训课程”（Train the Trainer，TTT）在马来西亚技职行业里广为人知，其中人力资源发展局（HRD Corp）下的TTT是最受欢迎的讲师培训课程之一。然而，在技能发展部下也有一个名为“NCS-TTT”的课程。很多人会混淆，到底这两个课程有什么分别？本文将针对这两个课程来给大家分析一下它们之间的差异，并重点强调NCS-TTT课程的优势，以及它如何可以让你在增加职业机会的同时，又能够一次获得两张证书的能力。

1. HRD Corp-TTT 合格讲师认证

HRD Corp培训讲师是指由HRD Corp认证或授权的专业讲师。在HRD讲师发展框架下，讲师将被分类如下：

TTT认证讲师

成功完成5天的HRD培训讲师课程（TTT），成功通过主讲导师的考核后，你就可以成为合格的“TTT认证讲师“。

TTT豁免讲师

此分类下的申请者无需上5天的HRD培训讲师课程（TTT）,你只需要根据先前的资格、证书/文凭或其他相关的讲师经验来换取豁免的资格，直接跳级荣升为TTT豁免讲师。

HRD Corp 认证培训师

这个则是在你拿到了“TTT认证讲师 ”或“TTT豁免讲师 ”的资格后，再过关斩将通过另一个考试，获得由 HRD Corp 指定小组审核为 HRD Corp 认证培训师。如果不想再考试的话，则可以通过完成的120小时培训时间，被HRD Corp认证为一名合格的培训师。

那作为 HRD Corp 合格的培训师有什么好处？作为 HRD Corp 合格的培训师，你所提供的培训就可向 HRD Corp 注册雇主索取津贴。 培训计划的质量不仅取决于培训设施，还高度依赖于进行培训的培训师的素质。 HRD-TDF 的实施将创建一个称职和熟练的培训师专业人才库。 这将通过更好的质量和更有效的培训交付来支持国家的人力资本发展需求。 HRD Corp 认证培训师身份仅适用于涵盖 HRD Corp 提供的各种计划的 HRD Corp 培训环境。

2. NCS-TTT 合格讲师认证

和HRD Corp-TTT 不同，NCS-TTT NCS-004:2017（TTT）则是人力资源部技能发展部门制定的国家职业标准。它属于2006年国家技能发展法案（NASDA）的范畴，证书由人力资源部门旗下的技能发展部门颁发，是一项国家级别的认证。

如果你希望成为技能课程的合格培训讲师（更具体地说，是PP-M的评估员），你必须获得这个NCS-TTT的培训讲师证书。

NCS-TTT 合格讲师认证课程的课程内容：

  • COCU 1 确定培训要求
  • COCU 2 设计培训课程
  • COCU 3 进行培训
  • COCU 4 进行培训评估

NCS-TTT 合格讲师认证课程的职业和商业机会

合格讲师认证课程 证书 -NCS-TTT

1. 你可以在私人或公共的JPK技术培训中心、职业学院、理工学院等担任培训师（Tenaga Pengajar – TP）或模块化计划（Pegawai Penilai-Modular, PP-M）评估员，从而增加您的收入。您还可以成为人力资源培训师，为人力资源发展机构提供可申领HRD Corp。
2. 除此以外，你还可以拓展业务机会，例如竞标政府机构的教学项目，这些项目通常需要政府认可的培训师培训课程证书。
3. 获得认证培训师证书，向学生展示您的专业性和资质。
4. 开办一家的JPK认可的技术培训中心，NCS-TTT 证书是成为 modular@micro-credential 项目评估员的先决条件。e

NCS-TTT 对比 HRD Corp-TTT 的优势

两者之间的主要区别在于，在你考取了 NCS-TTT的认证后，你可以向 HRD Corp-TTT 申请豁免再上多一次培训课程而直接获得多一张证书，反之则不行。 这意味着，如果你已经获得了NCS-TTT，则无需再次参加HRD Corp-TTT； 你只需要申请拿多一张证书就可以了。

这就是National Competency Standard – Train The Trainer course (NCS-TTT) 的优势——只付费参加一次课程（RM2,800）即可。

总的来说，如果你本身拥有很多年的技职工作经验，如果你想要成为一位受政府承认的合格技术培训师，又或者你之前的技职经验一直没有获得任何认证，那么这就是你获得国家认证的最好机会！你所需要的就是参加这个NCS-TTT课程，因为你只需要参加一个课程就可以同时拿到NCS-TTT + HRDC-TTT的证书，从而获得国家级别的认证，成为一位合格的技职培训讲师。
