Training Programme Readiness Assessment

This free self-check helps training and HR staff in Malaysia see how well they plan, design and evaluate training. Rate 16 statements about needs analysis, programme design, delivery readiness and evaluation. You get a score, the area to strengthen first, and a printable checklist to use for every programme you build.

16 statements, about 5 minutes.

Your answers stay on this device until you ask for your report.

Where should we send your report?

We email you a link to confirm. Your report opens after you click it.

How we use your details: only to send this report and, if you ticked the box, tips about training. You can unsubscribe or delete your data from any email. For people aged 18 and over. Privacy notice version 2026-10-16.

This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Training budgets are wasted when courses are chosen by habit rather than need, and when nobody checks the result.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

Training needs analysis

  1. I base training plans on a training needs analysis, not only on course requests.
  2. I gather needs from performance reviews, manager input and business goals.
  3. I use a competency framework or job profile to measure the skill gap for each role.
  4. I rank training needs by business impact before building the annual plan.

Programme design

  1. Every programme I design has written learning outcomes that can be observed or measured.
  2. I match each activity and assessment to a learning outcome.
  3. I follow a structured design model, such as ADDIE, from analysis to evaluation.
  4. I review content with a subject matter expert before delivery.

Materials and delivery readiness

  1. Each programme has a session plan with timing, methods and materials.
  2. Materials are version controlled so trainers always use the current copy.
  3. When we plan to claim a grant, I check HRD Corp requirements before the programme starts.
  4. I keep attendance and assessment records for every session.

Training evaluation

  1. I collect participant feedback after every programme and act on it.
  2. I check whether participants reached the learning outcomes, not only whether they liked the session.
  3. I follow up with managers to see whether new skills are used on the job.
  4. I report training results to management using an evaluation model such as Kirkpatrick.

Same track, a few minutes each.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certified Curriculum Development Manager assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Who is this assessment for?

Training executives, HR staff, in-house trainers and learning and development managers who plan or design training programmes in Malaysia.

Is the Training Programme Readiness Assessment free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the half-day introductory class, the core course for your weakest area, or the certification when you are ready.
