The Implementation of Training Need Analysis for the Improvement of Apparatus Training Quality

Current implementation of apparatus training has not provided significant results for improvement of apparatus competencies. Discrepancies between training materials and competency needed by participants still exists. The result of post evaluation of technical training shown only 75% of materials received in class is implementable in apparatus works. One of the contributing problem with curriculum discrepancies is inaccurate application of training need analysis. This study aims to prove a competency-oriented training need analysis that can be utilized as the basis for training program preparation. We conducted observation, interview, discussion and document study to achieve that goal. Indication of competence will be judged from competencies that must be acquired by the apparatus including competence management, technical, socio-cultural. This study contributed in form of production of an effective model to map the required competencies and types of training required by apparatus. We found that training is necessary for improvement of apparatus competencies. We also found that training need analysis is an important step for determining training qualities.
