CIVIL SERVICES FOUNDATION COURSE SPECIAL

Message from the Officer Trainees…..

Time & tide waits for none. As we march towards the concluding days of our foundation course, a sense of

achievement is felt by all of us for completing this training. Many of us were not aware of this institute & had

never been to Hyderabad before. Most of us had never met each other before joining this campus. However,

the exhaustive training executed in a well planned & perfect manner

has fused all of us together. Espirit de corps hasn‘t remained just an

alien word but is now a common feeling for most of the fellow OTs of

86th foundation course. PT has gelled in our routine as a necessary

evil while memos no more remain a court summon for us. In the con-

cluding days of the course, we still have the déjà-vu of the day we

joined this institute. As we look back, there lies days, events, bond-

ing, friendships & may such things. We have got the enduring & ever-

lasting foundation for our careers at Dr. MCRHRD IAP. We profusely

thank the course coordinator and faculty members of the institute for

excellent administration of the course

Trainer Development Programmes

Courses on `Training of Trainers' are an

essential step in developing competence

of trainers through Direct Trainer Skills

(DTS) (1-week module) followed by De-

sign of Training (DOT) (1-Week module)

followed by a 4-week project work.

These special Modules aim to improve

trainers' abilities, delivery skills, design-

ing skills for subject specific courses,

internal and external validation and to

provide exposure to the effective use of

audio visual aids. The aim of the Direct

Trainer Skills (DTS) course is to provide

an opportunity for the trainers to de-

velop their basic instructional skills so to

enable them to make an effective contri-

bution to their institution's training

courses.

The success of training depends on the

ability of trainers to design and deliver

effective training which will enable em-

ployees to improve their performance.

The aim of the Design of Training (DoT)

course is to provide further advice and

development opportunities to enable

trainers to undertake the additional respon-

sibilities of designing training modules.

The Institute conducted three courses on

DTS and two courses on DOT from July-

September, 2011. Participants from various

states attended the two courses.
