The hybrid in-service training model (HIST) concept of hybrid model of learning and designed for this study includes availability of learning content in online and face to face which enable discussion and feedback on learned content and facilitates meta-learning. This is an experimental study concerned in design and evaluated the effectiveness of HIST in accessing training content by the participants in own place, attaining the required skills, explores required content support, enabling space for reinforcement and affords meta-learning among the teachers. Findings of this study are inservice training engrossed the teachers in learning content by their own at anywhere and anytime and it allows interact themselves in useful manner. Opportunity to accessing the learning content in different modes, active participation by means of reinforcement and meta-learning is underlined. HIST ensures that upgrading the skills among the teachers is higher than usual mode of in-service training and minimized the duration of time consumed. Teachers are expressed their greater satisfaction and comprehensiveness on objectives of the trainin
