The two routes to accreditation

• Accreditation by assessment: for trainers who became TTT Certified or TTT Exempted after 1 January 2021, and for trainers who do not have the hours for the activity route. The trainer submits a course outline, a session plan, the slides and a video of a real training session. (HRD Corp HRD-TDF Guideline, item 5.4.2, 7.2)
• Accreditation by activity: only for trainers who became TTT Certified or TTT Exempted before 1 January 2021. The trainer completes 120 training hours within 12 continuous months. (HRD Corp HRD-TDF Guideline, item 5.4.1, 6.1)

Validity and renewal

• Accreditation is valid for 3 years. (HRD Corp HRD-TDF Guideline, item 5.8, 9.1)
• To renew, the trainer completes a total of 360 training hours within the 3-year validity period. A trainer who does not have the hours can renew by accreditation by assessment. (HRD Corp HRD-TDF Guideline, item 9.2, 9.4)
• The trainer applies for renewal at least 3 months before the accreditation expires. (HRD Corp HRD-TDF Guideline, item 9.5)

The 120 hours (in 12 months) are for the first accreditation by activity. The 360 hours (in 3 years) are for renewal.

How to check a trainer

Ask the training provider for the trainer’s HRD Corp Accredited Trainer certificate and check the expiry date. Each Kognifi trainer profile shows the trainer’s credentials and the HRD Corp badge that HRD Corp issued to the trainer. (HRD Corp: Trainers’ Development Framework)
