However, many cadres still do not have adequate understanding and skills. Ideally, cadres are able to manage Posyandu independently because they understand the needs of the community in their area. The purpose of this study is to improve the knowledge and skills of cadres in monitoring toddler growth accurately and standardized in the Kembang Seri Health Center area.The method used in this activity is to fill out a pretest sheet followed by providing counseling related to anthropometric measurement and filling out a posttest sheet. The type of normality test used is the Shapiro-Wilk type normality test. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test test show that the average value of the difference (mean difference) between the pretest and posttest is -35.714 with a calculated t value = -17.678, degrees of freedom (df) = 6, and a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) = 0.000. Conclusion: The training provided to Posyandu cadres has a significant effect on increasing their knowledge and skills in conducting anthropometric measurements and interpreting KMS.
