The Overview Training element will typically be delivered
by an instructor in a classroom; if a full-featured Learning
Management System (LMS) is available, it may be delivered
electronically. There will be an SOP for this Overview
Training event. The Skills Training elements will usually be
delivered one-on-one by a subject matter expert (SME) who
is also a trainer, on the shop fl oor as a structured on-the-job
training (SOJT) event 3 ; there will be an SOP for each of the
SOJTs in the module.
The Overview Training element includes an assessment of
training effectiveness - a Knowledge Transfer Assessment
(KTA), for example. The training event is documented in a
Training Record where the trainer and trainee concur
that the trainee has, or has not, successfully concluded the
event. In the case of classroom instruction, this training
record is entered into the training tracking system and the
entry is verifi ed. In the case of a validated LMS, the training
record will be an integral part of the training module and
will be electronically entered into the trainee's training
history.
Once the Overview Training event is successfully
concluded, the trainee goes on to the SOJT events. The
several SOJTs are documented in Skill Demonstration
Assessments (SDAs), where the trainee's ability independently
to perform the task is documented. The SDA is then entered
into the training tracking system, and the entry is verifi ed.
After all the relevant SDAs are successfully completed, the
trainee is qualifi ed, meaning the trainee is ready to perform
that module's tasks independently.
Let us consider several examples, displayed in Table 5.1.
The precise fi t of each of these modules into the larger
curriculum is determined in the Design phase.
A second aspect of the fi t between training modules and
the larger training curriculum is the relationship between the
