1. SCOPE

1.1 Purpose

This guide contains good practices for the training and qualification of technical instructors and

instructional technologists at DOE reactor and non-reactor nuclear facilities. It addresses the content

of initial and continuing instructor training programs, evaluation of instructor training programs, and

maintenance of instructor training records.

1.2 Background

The Guide to Good Practices for Training and Qualification of Instructors was developed from three

principal sources:

Commercial nuclear power industry guidelines for instructor training and qualification

Mid-Atlantic Nuclear Training Group (MANTG) Generic Instructor Task List

A tabletop analysis conducted to identify instructional competencies representative of those

required by DOE's Training Accreditation Program (TAP) objectives and criteria.

The TAP objectives and criteria have been revised since this guide was originally developed. They

are now consistent with the objectives and criteria contained in DOE-STD-1070-94 Guidelines for

Evaluation of Nuclear Facility Training Programs which establishes the standards by which training

programs should be evaluated against. The competencies in this guide are representative of those

required by the revised objectives and criteria of the accreditation program and DOE-STD-1070-94.

1.3 Application

Training organizations should use this guide as a means of cross-checking to assist them in ensuring

that the necessary elements are contained in their instructor training programs. This guide should

also be used by facilities as they develop instructor training programs to comply with the

requirements of DOE Orders and proposed rulemaking initiatives in DOE.
