Checklists have been developed to assist in the review of
each of these areas. Sample checklists are contained in
Appendix G. The sections that follow provide guidance in
the following areas:
Contents of each different review
Procedures for conducting the review
Responsibility for conducting the review
Requirements for the review
Reporting procedures
5.1. Training Analysis. A training analysis consists of two
parts; trend analysis or the identification of problems in the
training process and cause analysis, used to identify and
control areas where students may have difficulty achieving the
objectives in the specified time.
Trend Analysis. Trend analysis requires the activity to
monitor graduation and set back rates on a continuous basis
to identify trends or changes. These statistics are
reported in CeTARS. CeTARS is the official source for this
information. Other sources may be used for information but
will not replace CeTARS.
Cause Analysis. Cause analysis begins when an adverse
trend occurs. It involves an assessment of the training
process to determine the factors that may affect the rates.
The purpose of the cause analysis is to identify changes
that are needed to reverse the rising drop from
training/attrition from the Navy/setback rates.
5.2. Conducting a Training Analysis
STEP ONE:
When an adverse trend appears to be occurring, the data
reports and the reporting process must first be verified.
Consider the following:
A decrease in student input or a delay in the CeTARS
reporting process may cause an erroneous increase in
these rates.
Accuracy of data entered, timely entry and utilization
of established procedures determine the usefulness of
the data reports.
