MAP-01-011 – HFI Technical Guide (STGP 11)• DTSM 5 ‘Technology Based Training Delivery Solutions’ [Ref 10]HFI Technical Issues• DTSM 6 ‘The Audit and Inspection of Individual Training’ [Ref 11]These guidance documents provide for a systematic and consistent approach tothe development of training, focusing on the achievement of defined performancelevels. All training-related activities are documented and analysed to ensureefficient, effective training and that they meet developing operational needs.Whilst the basic approach to naval training has remained stable since itsintroduction some 20 years ago, the environment in which training is achievedand the means by which it is delivered have changed and will continue to do so.In managing the analysis of the training requirement for a new capability, a TNASteering Group (TNA SG) is constituted. Further details pertaining to the rolesand responsibilities of the TNA SG can be found in DTSM 3 ‘TNA’ [Ref 8]. TheSG will normally be chaired by the project sponsor, usually the RequirementsManager (as DEC’s representative); to ensure that training requirements arecaptured as part of the requirements capture process.The IPT Leader is responsible for ensuring that the cost implications and theready for training date are co-ordinated in the procurement and properlyrepresented in the TLMP. The relevant System Project Manager is alsoresponsible for ensuring that the TNA produces a specification that can be usedfor the purposes of tender action, if required. Following on from the TNA aTraining Working Group (TWG) should be established (usually under the ILSManagement Committee (ILSMC)) allowing the relevant System Project Managerto co-ordinate acceptance with the Integrated Logistics Support Manager (ILSM)and the Lead School to ensure that RN training design and delivery areresourced. The Operational Command represents the final user and isresponsible for assessing the operational objectives, implications of additionalon-the job training (OJT) on operational capability and the provision of subjectmatter expert advice to the TNA.It is Naval policy that training is carried out where and when it is most costeffectiveto do so. A rigorous approach is required to determine whetherappropriate training functionality should be embedded in relevant futureequipments to support federated training (short/medium term) and aconfederated capability (long term). The training needs and the necessaryfacilities are identified and funded as part of the platform procurement. In caseswhere equipments are procured as commercial-off-the-shelf products it isimportant that a training package is also procured which is either compatible with,or can be adapted to meet, the user service training needs. Even where atraining package is procured with equipment, it is important to consider how it willbe delivered to personnel when the equipment is in-service. Training equipmentdelivery, together with its associated environmental infrastructure, needs toprecede unit equipment In Service Date (ISD).FOTR and/or the Lead School will also be represented on a TNA SG to providetraining subject matter expert advice. FLEET-NPS should be represented inorder to ensure that the job, ADQUAL and TEM are taken into account. RN ICGis responsible for the quality assurance of all TNAs done by or on behalf of theNaval Service as well as being the first point of contact for acquisition/TNArelated advice. The HFI Focus may represent the procurement project in allaspects of the TNA or at the very least will co-ordinate the TNA activity with otherHFI activities.Nov 2006 Page 7-4 Issue 4
