The Guide to Good Practices for Table-Top Job Analysis, DOE-

HDBK-1076-94 contains detailed guidance on the table-top

method for conducting job analyses.

Design

A table-top approach to design is used to determine and design

the content of a training program. The table-top method

typically involves the following steps:

Developing a curriculum outline.

Determining the content of each training session and

writing learning objectives, and determining the

appropriate learning strategy (instructional method and

setting).

Determining testing requirements.

The Table-Top Training Program Design handbook, DOE-

HDBK-1086-95, contains detailed guidance on the table-top

method for designing training materials and programs.

Development

The table-top method can also be used to review and modify

existing facility training materials or materials from similar

facilities to minimize development efforts. This method is

effective in identifying equivalent material and verifying the

applicability of the content. Table-top development may also be

used to develop OJT materials such as JPMs (or their

equivalent) and OJT guides by analyzing various tasks as a

group and writing training materials.
