Procedures and Administrative Guidance

DOE-HDBK-1074-95

Training Development Process

Training activities should be guided by formal requirements. This guidance

need not be lengthy or detailed for many facilities and organizations. If a

description of the process is endorsed by management and the level of detail

is sufficient for participants to understand and follow, the guidance is

acceptable.

Conduct of Training

There should be an organizational definition of the local requirements for

conduct of training. This may include on-the-job training guidance,

classroom training guidance, structured self-study guidance, or guidance in

other areas that are important for the student and instructional staff to

understand. A level that defines basic requirements (for example, qualified

classroom instructors will use an approved lesson plan) is sufficient.

Training Program Evaluation

All training programs should have some level of evaluation to assess the

effectiveness of the training. This level will vary, but clear guidance is

necessary regardless of the activities that are needed. Adequate evaluation

guidance may consist only of documentation which designates areas subject

to evaluation and required periodicity of evaluations.

Feedback and Corrective Actions

Maintenance of the training materials and program activities is essential.

Formal guidance should be available to ensure changes are identified and

incorporated in the training in a timely manner. This guidance should also

define application and use of industry and facility lessons learned

information.

Any training program requires the maintenance of some records. To ensure

consistency and credibility of records and recordkeeping systems,

administrative or procedural guidance should be available. The guidance

does not need to be complex or lengthy as long as it ensures compliance
