Conduct of In-Training Evaluations

DOE-HDBK-1206-98

The instructor should have the knowledge and the ability to instruct and

evaluate the trainee in accordance with the learning objectives and performance

tests

The training and the performance tests should be documented to meet training

record requirements and to provide feedback to the training program.

NOTE

Personnel previously qualified at other facilities who have satisfactorily

completed training programs with comparable content and performance

standards may be granted an exception from portions of training on a

case-by-case basis. Exception from training should be based on a review of

their previous training records, personal interviews, and may include a pre-test

based on the objectives stated for the training program. Pre-tests readily

support exceptions from training when the trainee can demonstrate mastery of

specific learning objectives. Pre-test results may also provide useful data to

justify modification of an OJT program based on common strengths and

weaknesses.

Conduct of In-Training Evaluations

In-training evaluations are necessary to provide data which will be used in the evaluation

phase of the SAT process. In-training evaluations usually consist of:

Instructor critique of training

Trainee critique of training

Trainee performance data (pre-tests, progress, and post-tests)

OJT program coordinator's evaluation of instructor and trainee performance.

3.4.3

Training Records

Auditable records of each individual's participation and performance in, or exceptions granted

from, the training program(s) should be maintained in accordance with DOE Order 5480.20A.

The guidance in TG-17, "Nuclear Information and Records Management Association Guideline

for Management of Nuclear Related Training Records," should be considered to standardize

identification, handling, and storage of training records.

The evaluation phase of performance-based training takes place to determine the

effectiveness of training programs and to identify program changes that may be required. The

DOE Training Program Handbook: A Systematic Approach to Training, contains detailed

information and example forms that may be used to conduct this component of the SAT
