How the categories map onto the framework
The improvement-areas list mirrors the eight items of Unit 6 Element C (Reports information on course evaluation) of the Instructor / Examiner Competency and Performance Framework almost item for item:
| Unit 6 Element C item | Improvement area |
|---|---|
| Identifies strengths and / or weaknesses of the training course | Training Courses |
| Identifies systemic safety issues | Safety Issues |
| Identifies unexpected outcomes | Unexpected Outcomes |
| Identifies barriers to the transfer of learning | Barriers to Learning |
| Makes recommendations for improvements to course design | Improvements to Course Design |
| Makes recommendations for improvements to course documentation | Improvements to Course Documentation |
| Makes recommendations for improvements to training media and facilities | Improvements to Training Media; Improvements to Training Facilities |
| Shares information with other instructors and management | Sharing Information with Instructors and Management |
The areas are the operational categories the instructor uses when completing the post-session feedback forms (covered on 12.16 Instructor Feedback) and when raising training-system issues via the QA processes (covered on 12.12 Quality Processes associated with Operations Training).
