Training Accreditation Program Objectives and Criteria

DOE-STD-1077-94

TRAINING ACCREDITATION PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND

CRITERIA

To ensure that the training programs targeted for accreditation meet consistent levels

of quality, a series of training program objectives and associated criteria have been

developed. Each objective provides a broad goal to be achieved. The functional areas

encompassed by the objectives are:

Management and administration of training and qualification programs;

Development and qualification of training staff;

Trainee entry-level requirements;

Determination of training program content;

Design and development of training programs;

Conduct of training;

Trainee examinations and evaluations; and

Training program evaluation.

To assist training and line managers (and training program evaluators) determine the

extent to which their training programs satisfy a given objective, each objective includes a

series of related criteria. The criteria for an objective provide specific elements that

management should consider in order to assist them to determine if a training program

meets the intent of the objective. It is possible that not all of the criteria identified for a

particular objective will be applicable to a particular facility. Line and training managers

should use discretion in determining the applicability of the criteria to their respective

facilities.

The Training Accreditation Program Objectives and Criteria, included as Appendix A in

this Standard, are identical to the objectives and criteria contained in the DOE Standard

DOE-STD-1070-94, "Guidelines for Evaluation of Nuclear Facility Training Programs," of

6-94.
