This study assessed the moderating effect of training and development on entrepreneurial performance of Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN).

The sample size comprised of one hundred and forty two (142) SMEs out of the two hundred and twenty (220) SMEs population of the selected SME that are registered with SMEDAN in Lagos, Nigeria. The ex-post facto and Yamane formula was adopted.The test re-test reliability approach was used. The data was analysed using manual and electronic based methods through the data preparation grid and statistical package for the social sciences, (SPSS) statistical package version 21.0. The study made use of statistical tools which include: analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation efficient and regression analysis in testing hypotheses where applicable. The findings of the research showed that the impact of ethical training and development would be more significant if the young entrepreneurs had earlier exposure from secondary to tertiary education level to make better entrepreneurs in Nigeria and also training organized by SMEDAN has effects on SMEs employment creation which has enhanced entrepreneurial performance in Nigeria.
