Annex 3 – HF Techniques, Methods and Toolstraining objectives to be attained by trainees. Each TPS is decomposed into aset of enabling objectives detailing specific learning that is required to attain thatTPS. The OPS and TPS are used to help identify training media optionsincluding the following: location (afloat or ashore); type of trainer (part taskprocedural, full-system simulator etc.); method of training (computer basedinstruction, classroom training, on-the-job, self instruction etc.); and requiredlevels of physical, dynamic and instructional fidelity. Training options areevaluated and the most cost-effective approach is selected. Training coursewareand device specifications are developed for the chosen option using the finaldesign specifications.TNA is mandatory for all new platforms and equipments and the TNA processstarts during the Assessment phase and is completed in the Manufacture phaseat which stage training courseware and devices are developed to come intoservice with the relevant platform or equipment. FOTR, RN ICG and subjectmatter experts are required for the conduct of the TNA.• Advantages• TNA is a systematic and proven approach.• TNA will identify the performance required by personnel to meet theiroperational objectives.• TNA will identify the training performance that must be supported to enableacquisition of skills and knowledge.• TNA will identify the training media options and provide justification toselect the best option in terms of cost, training capacity, acquisition andretention of skills and knowledge.• Disadvantages• A TNA is a labour intensive activity that is iterative and is dependent onsystem maturity.A3.8.7Target Audience DescriptionThe purpose of a Target Audience Description (TAD) is to provide a summary ofpersonnel capabilities and limitations for use in manning studies; training needsanalysis, system design, habitability assessment and health and safety analysis.A Project Specific Target Audience Description (PSTAD) is specified for eachproject. This helps ensure that the platform and equipment is designed in such away as to match the characteristics of the available manpower.The target audience description is developed in accordance with the needs of theproject and the characteristics of the system. The information is developed fromthe baseline information in the Early Human Factors Analysis (EHFA) andcollated from existing standards, research, e.g. at INM, surveys, demographicsdata, service documentation and interviews. The organisations that are likely toprovide personnel are identified and the jobs affected are specified in detail. ThisMay 2006 Page A3-73 Issue 4
