M.A. (Industrial Psychology) / The professionalization of the training profession In South-Africa requires that the training of trainers should be goal-orientated and needs-directed. In order to ensure this goal-orientated training, it is Imperative that specific areas for the training of trainers be Identified, based om the training needs within the South-African industry. It Is also important that the contribution made through purposeful training of trainers should permeate the South-African industry through measurable results and eventually culminate In higher Quality training. A prerequisite for this, however, should be measurable and noticeable Improvements In trainers' behavioural outputs. The identification of specific competencies necessary in specialized roles in a particular functional area, (e.g. instructor, training officer, training manager, etc.) has therefore much more value than simply identifying subjects or contents typical of a particular function. The trainer, however, functions in a multi-dimensional environment In which a variety of external as well as behaviour variables or individual-orientated factors Influence his/her performance. EXternal factors such as the socio-political situation, economic climate, certain organizational variables as well as technological growth and development play an important part whi Ie behavioural sciences aspects such as andragogy, the psychology of learning and the competency level of the individual trainer also contributes to the complexity of the training situation.
