Each year, the Force organises different training courses to equip officers with the necessary skill sets and competency to meet their functional and operational needs. Training Coordinators (TCs) such as Superintendents (Administration) (SPs ADM) and Training and Staff Relations Officers (TSROs), play a key role in coordinating the nominations of officers in their Major Formations or Formations to attend training. The Training Management System (TMS) is a platform for processing the nominations and recording officers’ training attendance.

In order to facilitate TCs’ familiarisation with TMS, the Police Operational Learning Division (POLD) and the Learning Technologies Division of the Police College developed a TMS e-Learning Course for TCs. On April 12, the e-Learning Course was launched on Central Educational Repository (CERT) to replace the previous half-day in-person training course.

Amongst the first batch of TCs who had completed the e-Learning Course, SP ADM of New Territories South Regional Headquarters Sum Ching-fun commented that coordinating training is an important part of human resources management of the Region, and the advantage of the e-Learning Course is that TCs can learn at a time convenient for them while they are at their job position. She encouraged other TCs to complete the course as it can be completed within an hour.

Meanwhile, TSRO of Mong Kok District Cheung Sin-man received a Police Email Network (PEN) message with a hyperlink to the e-Learning Course after she returned from her holiday. She welcomed this initiative from POLD and the Personnel Information Communal System (PICS), where officers newly assuming the role of TC can complete the course through the link attached in the PEN message. In addition, TCs can refresh their memory by accessing the course material via the CERT platform.

Officers who assist in discharging TCs duties are welcome to participate in the e-Learning Course through the following path: CERT > E-Course > Training & Development > TMS e-Learning Course for Training Coordinators
