Dear Sharique Sajjad,

The following are some tips and suggestions to create a concise and effective test:

Industry Knowledge

Presentation and Communication
Strong presentation and communication skills to manage and motivate a diverse workforce.

Training Needs Analysis
Ability to identify training needs and develop appropriate training programs.

Training Calendar
Ability to design the training calendar for the various levels of employees.

Program Design and Delivery
Skills in designing and delivering effective training programs for blue-collar, skilled, and staff categories.

Hiring the External Faculties
Ability to hire external trainers or faculties for various training programs.

Return on Investment on Training
Ability to measure the ROI on the training programs conducted.

Technology Proficiency
Familiarity with training technologies and tools used in the telecom industry.

Knowledge Management
Ability to generate, store, and spread the knowledge generated during the training programs.

Designing the Case Studies
Ability to design case studies from the various incidents that take place within or outside of the organization.

I hope the above list is sufficient. You can modify the above statements according to your requirements.

If you are hiring a training manager, then conducting a test may not be a good idea. You can use behavioral interview questions. You can design those questions based on the points given above. For further queries, feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
