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.
