The training of development trainers: proposed standards. A project to develop a competency framework and pilot a qualification structure for development trainers

This is a report describing the progress of a project that aims to create a competency framework for Development Trainers. This framework will, in turn, be used to develop a qualification structure that we intend to pilot. The report summarises the research that we have undertaken and presents the proposed framework of competences that resulted from this study. It is written to help the steering group with the next step in the project, that of field testing the framework and proposing awards. As such it is a working document. The field testing will enable us to gather feedback on the framework. It will then be presented to various lead bodies to inform their review and development processes. Once the proposals are adopted they will be used as the basis for the design of pilot courses and qualifications.
