DOE-HDBK-1078-94

1.3

This Handbook does not contain all the material or information necessary to make a

training program work. Overall policies and procedures that each organization

determines necessary to develop and administer performance-based training programs

are also required. These policies and procedures may be called Training Program

Manuals, Training Procedures Manuals, Training Management Manuals, Training

Plans, etc. Whatever its name, the document should contain procedures that govern the

way the facility/site/office conducts training. For purposes of discussion in this

Handbook, this document will be referred to as the Training Management Manual.
