Abstract: Tahfiz al-Quran education for visually impaired students (OKU Penglihatan) is vital in shaping their spiritual and psychological development. Preliminary studies show that this program has a very positive impact on the students' self-confidence and future aspirations. However, the effectiveness of this program is hampered by a critical gap in teacher competency, where the majority of teachers have not received specific training to teach the visually impaired. Therefore, this study aims to assess the existing level of professional competency among Tahfiz teachers and identify their specific training needs, focusing on the mastery of Braille al-Quran and assistive technology. This study applies a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative). The quantitative phase involves a survey of OKU Tahfiz teachers, while the qualitative phase uses needs analysis and in-depth interviews. The findings of the study are expected to highlight the weakest competency dimensions and propose a relevant and practical specific training model framework. The study's contribution is to provide guidance to stakeholders in formulating teacher training policies and enhancing the quality of Tahfiz teaching for the visually impaired
