Comprehensive Training Program Evaluation

DOE-HDBK-1074-95

6.6.6 Comprehensive Training Program Evaluation

A comprehensive training program evaluation should be conducted

periodically to identify significant program strengths and weaknesses.

This evaluation should cover all aspects of the training program,

including subcontracted training, and should be used to identify

deficiencies and/or strengths in specific training programs and the

overall training program infrastructure. DOE-STD-1070-94, Guidelines

for Evaluation of Nuclear Facility Training Programs, provides

objectives and criteria for conducting comprehensive training program

evaluations.

6.7

Documentation

The facility should describe the process(es) used for evaluation and initiation

of corrective actions in a procedure or similar document. This document

should identify areas of evaluation, the frequency of evaluations, and the

process by which required changes are determined, approved, tracked, and

implemented. The results of training evaluations should be documented.

This documentation may range from a letter to line management at a low-

hazard facility to detailed survey forms and analyses of evaluation results at

higher-hazard facilities.

6.7.1 Approval and Tracking of Changes/Improvements

Changes which result from evaluations should be reviewed, approved,

and documented. This process adds assurance that only required

changes are made to the program and that the changes are approved

by training and line management.

6.7.2 Updating Analysis Data

To maintain the effectiveness of training programs, job analysis data

must be kept current. During evaluations, training deficiencies,

additional learner needs, or additional tasks required for job

performance may be identified. Analysis data should be revised to

reflect new information that is gained from evaluation activities.
