I am keen to obtain a list of generic competencies for professional trainers. Can anyone help?
I either employ perapetetic or permanent trainers and would appreciate any information regarding generic competencies. These trainers are employed across all professional areas.

If you haven’t already got them, you won’t go far wrong by obtaining the Employment NTO’s new Learning and Development Standards.
You can order from their website at http://www.empnto.co.uk

Generic Competencies for Professional Trainers
Dear Sally
The Training Foundation has published 3 generic competency frameworks for professional trainers, together with assessable performance models for tutors, facilitators and developers.
You can review these on-line at our website:

These will certainly meet your needs.
Kind Regards

Hi,
I have been looking for the same details and tried the link for the Training Foundation, but it appears to be broken.
