Standard for In-Company Trainers in ASEAN Countries
The standard was developed by 6
ASEAN countries since 2015.
Endorsed by ASEAN Secretariat as a
guideline for competence
development for in-company trainers.
Benchmarked as National Standard
and Training Regulations in Thailand
and the Philippines
So far over 200 Master Trainers have
been trained based on the Regional
Standard.
Available in 6 languages

Situation of Skilled Labour Demand
Needs of skilled workers in
the region due to industrial
development and
economic growth.
The education system in
the region focuses on
academic system.
Graduates lack of work
experience and do not match
the demand of industry.
The structured cooperation
between education and private
sector in education and training
is not functioned.
Interest from the private sector
investing in the training system
according to their needs is still
low.
The vocational education
system is still a school-based
system.

Regional TVET Teacher Standard for ASEAN
The standard was initiated to strengthen the TVET
Personnel development in ASEAN.
The standard is developed by key stakeholders in the
TVET Teacher Development from AMS with German
Experts.
The standard received the endorsement at the 3rd
High Officials Meeting on SEA-TVET in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia in May 2017 and at the 49th
SEAMEO Council Conference in Jakarta, Indonesia in
July 2017.
The Regional TVET Teacher Standard in its current form
can be best understood as a voluntary guideline for
AMS to improve TVET Teacher education.
4 countries benchmarked the standard and translated
into 3 languages

acceptance in society and from all partners.
Jointly Developed Standard
• An implemented standard leads to an improved TVET teacher education and eventually
to better teachers.
Better Educated Teacher
• Better educated teachers execute their profession more sucessfully and lead to better
results in student learning.

institutions
