M.B.A. / The intention of the study is to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the training programmes run by the Training and Development section in the Office of the Auditor General (OAG). Entering into the 21st century in South Africa, training and development has emerged in business as the way to create employment and develop skills. Worldwide the economy is on a fast path of globalisation. Due to globalisation and the changes required in global markets, training and development is the driving force to meet the demand for technical staff and highly skilled workers to meet with economic challenges. The majority of the South African labour force requires new or significantly expanded skills to keep up with the demands of their jobs. This includes new technology, management, customer service and basic skills training. Through training, employees gain skills, abilities, knowledge and attitudes that help them perform effectively in present and future jobs. The literature examined the determination of training needs, developing training programmes, selection of trainees, training objectives, different training programmes, presentation of training, conditions for effective training, the training practitioner and the evaluation of training. The findings of the research have assessed the functional value of the training from literature; determined the attitudes of the participants in the training programmes; ascertained that the emotional needs of the participants have been met; determined that training and communication within the OAG is adequately managed and determined that training and customer service are sufficiently interfaced.
