6.3

On-the-job training is conducted and evaluated by designated personnel who have

been instructed in program standards and methods.

Line management implements standards and policies pertaining to the conduct of

on-the-job training (OJT). Personnel who are designated by line management and

are trained in the instructional techniques peculiar to OJT conduct and evaluate it.

OJT is conducted using valid methods, approved materials, and a planned and

logical instructional sequence. Part time OJT instructors and/or evaluators are

trained in OJT instructional methods.

Completion of OJT and task qualification is by actual task performance whenever

possible. When the task cannot be performed, but is simulated or

walked-through, the conditions of task performance, references, tools, and

equipment reflect actual performance of the task to the extent feasible. Task

performance evaluation is conducted using valid methods and consists of

evaluating trainee performance using established standards prior to task or job

qualification. Structured on-the-job familiarization is normally used in lieu of

formal on-the-job training and evaluation for managers, non-certified supervisors,

and technical staff. During this phase, the candidate works closely with

supervisors and managers in their day-to-day job functions, including decision-

making.

6.4

Laboratory training is effectively and consistently presented.

Laboratory training provides hands-on application of principles conveyed during

the classroom training and encourages analytical skills development. The training

program content is implemented as outlined by approved training materials and is

structured to provide practical experience. Laboratory training activities

encourage direct trainee participation in the learning process. Conditions of task

performance, references, tools, and equipment reflect actual job performance

requirements to the extent possible. Evaluation of trainee performance verifies
