Trainee Examinations and Evaluations

TRAINEE EXAMINATIONS AND EVALUATIONS

OBJECTIVE 7

Individual trainees are examined and/or evaluated on a consistent and regular basis to

ensure that learning is taking place and that trainees are acquiring the knowledge and skills

required to work efficiently and safely at their jobs.

Criteria

7.1

Trainees are evaluated regularly using written, oral, and/or performance

examinations and quizzes.

Trainees are evaluated on a regular basis. Examinations/evaluations are

administered at the conclusion of structured segments of the training program. A

sufficient sampling of the knowledge and skill learning objectives is evaluated prior

to awarding qualification or certification.

Much of the training for managers, non-certified supervisors, and technical

staff personnel occurs in nontraditional settings such as discussions with

individual managers. Monitoring and evaluating training in these nontraditional

settings are unnecessary. In addition, since many learning objectives for

managers, non-certified supervisors, and technical staff personnel do not

readily adapt to prescribed standards or quantitative testing, qualitative

evaluations are acceptable in many cases. For example, trainees qualification

could be assessed from responses during discussions, behavior during role-

playing, or material developed during training exercises. Qualitative

evaluations may also be used to assess trainee qualification at low-hazard

nuclear facilities.
