Data collection techniques used are tests, interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is quantitative and qualitative analysis.The results showed that the calculated r value (0.883) > r table (0.279) and the Sig-2 tailed value <0.05, there was a significant relationship between the conceptual training model and the increasing competence of CLC managers. The conceptual training model is effective to improve the competence of CLC managers which includes personality competence, social competence, professional competence, and managerial competence. The development of the competency training model is carried out in four stages; condition analysis, design training, develop designs, and implement and evaluate training.The conclusion is that the development of a conceptual training model can improve the personality, social, professional and managerial competencies of CLC managers.
