The content of the tests should be changed from one exam to the next

so they are not compromised.

A Training Development and Administrative Guide should not be confused with the

facility's Training Management Manual (see Introduction) which outlines the facility

training policies and procedures that guide the development of all training. A

Training Development and Administrative Guide is a management tool for the

administration of an individual training program. It is used to gain management

approval of the program and guide development and implementation efforts. Though

not part of this guide, additional specifications may be developed to clarify and detail

the required characteristics of individual courses or lessons. Approval should include

training management and the management of the organization for which the training

is being developed. An example of this guide is in the Sample Training Development

and Administrative Guide (Attachment 18).

The Training Development and Administrative Guide is not intended to be a large

document. However, inclusion of the course outline could require several pages.

The example outlined in Attachment 18 is just a few pages from each section of an

outline, which is 21 pages in length. The rest of the document should only be a few

pages in length. It should have appropriate signatures indicated for review and

approval.

The following discussion outlines the major steps in developing procedures for the

guide.

3.5.1 Determine the Training Organization and Administrative

Responsibilities. Each contractor should have training responsibilities

established as a guide for personnel that are responsible for various portions

of the program. Typical questions to be answered are:

Who will develop the lesson material?

Who will perform reviews of material and when?

Who will present the material and document it?

What are the interfaces between the training personnel and the referent

organization?

3.5.2 Determine Course Loading and Scheduling Requirements. These are

determined by using training requirements identified during the analysis phase

and the projected availability of new and existing facility employees who will

require training. Course loading and scheduling should be based on the
