APPENDIX

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINING PROGRAMS

OBJECTIVE 5

Training program materials identify and support the knowledge and skills needed by trainees

to perform tasks associated with the position for which training is being conducted. The

content of initial training prepares the trainee to perform the job for which the candidate is

being trained. The content of continuing training maintains and improves incumbent job

performance.

Criteria

5.1

Learning objectives are derived from tasks selected for training. Learning

objectives describe knowledge and skills required for successful job

performance and are specified in observable and measurable terms.

Learning objectives are written to reflect task performance and consider the

associated knowledge and skills. Training settings are considered when writing

learning objectives. Learning objectives include the actions the trainee must

demonstrate, conditions under which the action will take place, and standards of

performance. The minimum trainee entry-level knowledge, skills, and experience for

the position are considered when developing learning objectives. If conditions and

standards for knowledge and/or skill objectives are implied, they must be clearly

understood.
