necessary to pursue leads. A sample listing might include the following:

OJT trainers in the operations and maintenance departments

Unqualified operators and maintenance personnel

Operations and maintenance supervisors and managers

Training manager and his instructors

Activity managers and operations supervisors

An example line of questioning for the OJT trainer to determine his level of knowledge

concerning activity OJT procedures, might proceed as follows:

What training requirements must you fulfill prior to being qualified as an OJT Trainer?

Do you use any forms that are later used to debrief the trainee on their performance?

How do you know whether or not the trainee understands the requirements for the task at

hand?

What actions are taken if an unusual situation arises?

How are you evaluated as an OJT trainer? Who does the evaluations? How often are you

evaluated?

Do you have any requalification requirements/periodicity? If so, what are they?

As evidenced, the line of questioning could go on at great length. While the answers to such

questions will lead the assessor to his next question, it is a good idea to jot down several

questions prior to starting the interview.

After completing an interview, the information gathered should be evaluated to determine if there

are any apparent deviations from activity requirements. These leads can normally be validated or

disproved using one or more of the following:

Additional observations of on-shift training activities

Interviews with qualified trainers and unqualified operators

Interviews with training department personnel
