Appendix A: Continuing Education, Training and Proficiency Program

DOE-STD-1161-2003

APPENDIX A

CONTINUING EDUCATION, TRAINING AND PROFICIENCY PROGRAM

The following list represents suggested resources for continuing education, training and other

opportunities that are available for mechanical systems personnel after completion of the competency

requirements in this technical Functional Area Qualification Standard. It is extremely important that

personnel involved with mechanical systems maintain their proficiency through continuing education,

training, reading, or other activities such as workshops, seminars, and conferences. The list was

developed by the Subject Matter Experts involved in the development of the Functional Area

Qualification Standard and is not all-inclusive.

Based on the knowledge and experience of the Subject Matter Experts, it is suggested that two learning

activities per year are necessary to maintain proficiency in the mechanical systems functional area after

completion of the competencies in the Standard and other requirements of the Technical Qualification

Program.
