These then are the personnel involved in the FBM Weapons System Train-
ing Program. The training program itself is not unique in its
academic concepts, but it is innovative in the area of program
management. i\s with any viable training system, the FBM Weapons
System Training Program first provides training objectives. It deter-
mines whtrc, when and by whom the learning is to take place; it
provides the learning opportunity, and then assesses the quality of
the end product.
PERSONNEL PERFOR.'?XICE PROFILES Ah'D TRAINING PATH SYSTE!4 (PPP)
-
The Personnel Performance Profile (PPP) is the basic building block of
the system. The profiles are for the m&ost part developed by hardware
contractors and state in a. standardized format the skills and
knowledge necessary to operate and maintain a system or equipment.
A system called The Training Path System assigns to each Fl3!4 Navy
Enlisted Classification (XX) the profile items and I.evcls of
achievement appropriate. This' same system, by use of profile items
and lcvcls of achievement, assigns material to replacement, advanced
and on-board training. Curricula are prepared using the profiles
and Training Path System. Informal training materials in support of
the profiles have been developed, and watch qualifications require-
ments have been keyed to the profiles and levels of achievement. The
FBM Weapons System Training Program provides a system, whereby, the
required knowledge for an individual or the specified content of a
course can be convenienriy identified by iisting profile items and
achievementievels.
