CTP Final Assessment

If you remember, last year in April we undergone a 5-day certification program called Certified Training Professional (CTP) under Financial Accreditation Agency (FAA)(link click here). We also had to sit for final writing examination, and 8-minute individual session too. 

Before we are certified, we have to undergo another final assessment to be certified. The final assessment consist of submitting our lesson plan which will be reviewed by FAA, and after the lesson plan is approved, we have to conduct the 4-hour individual session. The session must be on subject matter of the trainer. 

On September 2018, we had to undergo the final assessment, and all of us prepared our session accordingly. Assoc Prof Dr Zainuddin a representative of FAA come again to MARSAH to review and evaluate our session. This make the session easier as AP Dr Zainuddin knew us when he facilitate the 5-day CTP program before. 

The final assessment is held for two days and we have our students as our audience. Our lesson plan is made according to FAA standards and our facilitation also must be student-centered and fun learning.
