Trainer Performance Monitoring & Assessment
(TPMA)
To date, all of our trainers have passed the assessment, achieving LPI’s industry standards. Thanks to extensive feedback from TPMA, our trainers are being inspired to take their delivery to a higher level, ultimately, this means we are in a position to exceed client expectations.
TPMA gave our trainers a whole library of tools and techniques to use, as well as a more structured and ongoing support process than a typical Train The Trainer course. Often, a trainer just making one tiny change to their delivery would result in a big difference in delegate feedback and that had a huge effect on program acceptance and advocacy.
TPMA is much more flexible than previous training certifications. This will have real impact on the training we deliver.
I cannot overestimate the difference TPMA has made to us… We saw an increase in commissioned course bookings of around 150%, which was phenomenal.
In the last 57 years we have trained more than 50,000 professionals from 100 countries. By choosing to use the TPMA certification, we demonstrate our commitment to a globally-recognised quality standard framework that ensures both trainer competence and positive learner outcomes. Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, and in other regions, we continue to measure success and identify improvements across the training function. TPMA provides an important benchmark against which we measure that success.
What people are saying about TPMA
Why assess trainers?
Aren’t they the experts?
Trainers may know their subjects inside out but that doesn’t mean they are going to be effective communicators! For a training manager, knowing that all trainers have reached an industry-recognised level of competency means that quality is assured across all courses.
Adopting TPMA as a standard assessment and monitoring program gives several benefits:
Course overview
TPMA is a globally-recognised certification that signifies high-quality training. Its unique, flexible framework makes it ideal to use ‘out-of-the-box’ or to adapt to existing training programmes.
Unlike most off-the-shelf training certifications, TPMA focuses on the needs of the learner, not the knowledge of the trainer. TPMA assessments are also carried out in a live working environment, giving trainers the confidence that TPMA will have a direct impact on their current role. The ongoing quality of performance is ensured by regular, live, independently-governed assessment sessions.
TPMA is an invaluable tool to help reduce staff development costs, highlight training needs through regular evaluations, and act as a barometer of quality in appraisals and recruitment. In some circumstances, TPMA may be delivered to external clients, creating a new revenue stream for training organisations.
Who is it for?
Classroom trainers, training providers and training departments who need proof that they are delivering consistently excellent training.
Pre-requisities
People undergoing the TPMA certification should have at least one years’ relevant experience as a trainer.
Delivery Method
Become an Authorised Assessment Centre
Become an LPI Authorised Assessment Centre (AAC) and conduct your own TPMA Assessments.*
Or go a stage further and become an LPI Authorised Qualification & Assessment Centre (AQAC) where, apart from carrying out the services of an AAC, you can also offer your own Train the Trainer course (recognised by the LPI) and deliver the TPMA assessment as part of the course. This will help you to reduce your training development costs as you will control the performance standards of your training staff.
*AAC and AQAC organisations must hold a current accreditation from the LPI.
