Accordingly, work competency components of these personnels comprised of six aspects, i.e. leadership, planning, monitoring and evaluation, process improvement, problem solving, communication skill. 2) The sample group was then trained for three months using to develop 5 Modules for training course. Data were collected at the end of training to assess their learning achievement by means of percentage. The productivity of work done was collected every 15 days for six months to compare with productivity obtained before the training. 3) The finding on learning achievement is 81.5 % which corresponded to the hypothesis.
