The study sought to access the degree/level of training and development of workers of Presbyterian secondary schools in the North West, South West and Littoral regions of Cameroon as one of the factors that influence efficiency/effectiveness leading to productivity. As methodology, related literature on the historical and contextual development of formal education in Cameroon which has Presbyterian education authority as a co-provider of education to Cameroonians was reviewed. The two main concepts of training/development and productivity were also reviewed. The survey designed was employed for the study. Data was collected with the use of reports, diaries, written documents, questionnaire, interviews and focused group discussion. A sampled size of 156 made up of teachers, administrators and students of Presbyterian secondary school in Cameroon was used. The following conclusions were made: A. Majority of PEA workers are not trained teachers and administrators. They are degree holders in various subjects. B. If productivity of Presbyterian secondary schools in Cameroon is measured using external examinations, then two major issues arises: GCE ordinary/advanced level in both general and commercial sections are apparently good. Scores are above 90% averagely for a period of five years. Quantitatively, the results are very efficient. Qualitatively, the results are poor thus qualifying the Presbyterian secondary schools as less effective. Above 60% scored from C and E on both levels. C. Base on the research question, workers of Presbyterian secondary schools in Cameroon are trained and developed. The level/degree of development in human resource management is just average thereby negatively influencing productivity of Presbyterian secondary schools in Cameroon. The following recommendations were made: Administrators training be included in the ISTP programme and be sent for further training in educational administration at the University of Buea or any other training institution. Secondly, a teaching training institution be open by the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon to train her teachers of the secondary school level.
