OJT INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TRAINEE

Prepare for OJT by participating in prerequisite training and by reviewing the task's

JPM or equivalent. Study reference(s) and become familiar with all requirements for

passing the JPM. Ask questions while the instructor is training you to perform the

task. Make sure you understand. Do not practice or perform any task or operate

any equipment unless directed to do so by your instructor.

The purpose of the OJT session is to provide you with task-specific

knowledge and skills in your job/work area. The knowledge and skills

presented during on-the-job training are directly related to those you will

perform on the job.

Before starting OJT, the OJT Instructor will state and discuss the learning

objectives and answer any questions you may have. The OJT instructor will

discuss the JPM with you so that you know the acceptable standards of

knowledge and performance.

Before starting the training, the instructor will review the initial conditions for

the procedure/JPM. The instructor will explain how to perform the task.

The instructor will demonstrate correct performance of the task. The

instructor will answer questions and continue to explain and/or demonstrate

performance until you understand what to do, when and why to do it, and how

to do it.

You will be allowed time to practice the task until you can safely perform at

the desired level of proficiency.

When you believe that you can perform the task safely and proficiently, you

may request a performance evaluation. (Facility policy should specify

whether the same OJT instructor can conduct the performance evaluation or

if a separate evaluator or evaluation in necessary.)
