Training programs should be carefully evaluated so that they are properly selected, planned and
delivered. Evaluation should take place at a number of stages to make certain the program is relevant to
the requirements of the Company and appropriate in terms of format, content and presentation. The
information required to evaluate a training program can be provided by number of people, and at various
stages, as follows:

Trainer: Can provide information on the structure and content of the program and
how easy or difficult it was to present. They can also provide valuable
information on how well the operators learned new information and how
well they were progressing.

Reporting Manager: Can provide feedback on the effectiveness of the program, this is best done
some time after the training has been completed, allowing sufficient time for
the operators to go back to the workplace and apply the skills and knowledge
that they have obtained. The operators’ application of the skills and
knowledge gained is validated against the Operator Training Evaluation
Form.
6.1. Training Assessment Pattern:

the subject content. Scores of the individual trainees are to be kept recorded and
submitted to Central L&D Department for further evaluation process.
6.1.2. Assessment Process 02: Simulation Examination
It is to be conducted at the end of the practical session, i.e. on the 15 th day of the Simulator
