While many training programs for disaster management officers were conducted throughout Japan,there is not enough research that prove the effect of training programs. In this study, we tested the efficiency of "professional training course on disaster management'' with the instrument named" Disaster Response Competency Profile Indices (DRCPI)". We found that the developed competencies vary with the level of training course. At the same time, we found that some program did not contribute the development of participants' competency. The impact of training programs asks the meaning to continue programs or not.
