Post-Training Evaluations

performance. Training delivery evaluations include the use of trainee

evaluation/reaction forms, instructor critiques, and periodic

assessment of instructor performance by qualified individuals. If

necessary, instructors are upgraded and corrections are made to

training materials. When changes are made to training materials, the

changes should be approved and documented.

6.6.3 Post-Training Evaluations

Feedback from former trainees and their supervisors describes how

well the training program prepared employees for a task/job. This

feedback should be obtained long enough after training to ensure

familiarity with the job requirements and should identify the adequacy

of training in preparing them to perform job-related tasks. Feedback

from supervisors should focus on trainee performance. Information

gathering should also include data on training-related performance

problems, modifications to systems and components, or changes to

procedures that may have effected the relevancy of the training.

6.6.4 Change Actions

Job scope changes, procedure changes, equipment changes, and

facility modifications are monitored to identify impacts on the training

program. The training organization(s) should be notified when

modifications are made to assess the need for making changes to

training materials. Revisions to training materials should be made and

training conducted prior to the change being effected. A formal

system for maintaining training materials current is essential to ensure

that training is relevant to existing facility conditions.

6.6.5 Evaluating Facility and Industry Operating Experience

Training on facility and industry operating experience allows learning

from the experience of others and helps prevent similar situations from

occurring. This information should be regularly reviewed to allow

inclusion of lessons learned from these events in training. Information

of this type can be obtained from facility Occurrence Reports and from

the Occurrence Reporting and Processing System (ORPS).
