Application

The frequency and level of detail of training evaluations should reflect the

risk, hazard potential, and complexity of the performance that is being

addressed by the training program. In any case, it is essential that a formal

process be in place to ensure that feedback is provided that allows

maintaining training materials which reflect current conditions, equipment,

and procedures.

The evaluation (feedback) process also serves to improve the training

program and respond to line management needs. Generally, as the job

complexity and hazards increase, the need for training evaluations also

increases. Added frequency and detail of evaluation activities increases data

collection and analysis/review efforts. Development of forms (and perhaps

data management systems) to simplify this documentation and tracking of

each element in the evaluation program may be necessary.

Conducting Training Evaluations

6.6.1 In-Training Evaluations

Employee performance on written, oral, and performance

examinations is monitored and evaluated to provide information about

the need for refining the training program and testing process. For

example, if the trainee failure rate on an examination, JPM, or test

item(s) is high, there may be a problem with the training program or

the test question. If failure rates are acceptable and other indicators

(on-the-job performance, the rate of personnel-caused Occurrence

Reports, etc.) are satisfactory, the training program may be considered

effective.

6.6.2 Training Delivery Evaluations

Training delivery is monitored in all instructional settings to evaluate

content accuracy, adequacy of support materials, and instructor
