Required Technical Competencies

DOE-STD-1179-2004

REQUIRED TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES

The competencies contained in this Standard are distinct from those competencies contained in

the General Technical Base Qualification Standard. All Technical Training personnel must satisfy

the competency requirements of the General Technical Base Qualification Standard prior to or in

parallel with the competency requirements contained in this Standard. Each of the competency

statements defines the level of expected knowledge and or skill that an individual must posses to

meet the intent of this Standard. The supporting knowledge and/or skill statements further

describe the intent of the competency statements.

Note: When regulations, Departme nt of Energy directives, or other industry standards are

referenced in the Qualification Standard, the most recent revision should be used.

General Technical

Technical training personnel shall demonstrate an expert level of knowledge and

ability to implement the systematic approach to training model. This includes the

ability to:

Conduct a job or task analysis or needs assessment, analyze the data, and

provide recommendations based on results;

Design a training course or program to satisfy training requirements;

Develop a training course and supporting materials;

Evaluate a training course or program as part of the systematic approach

to training process or to assess return on investment.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

State the five steps of the systematic approach to training process and produce a

basic sketch showing the relationship between the steps.

Referring to DOE-HDBK-1078-94, Training Program Handbook: A Systematic

Approach to Training, describe in detail the activities that occur in each of the five

steps of the systematic approach to training process, and list the products that may

result from each of the steps.

Describe the purpose and process for conducting a needs analysis, job analysis

and task analysis.

Describe the functional relationship between tasks, learning objectives, training

materials, and trainee evaluations.

State and describe the components of an internal training program evaluation

process to assess the effectiveness of training.

Based on an analyzed training need, design, develop, implement, and evaluate a

course of instruction.

Evaluate how well a given training organization has implemented the five steps of

the systematic approach to training process.
