2.7 THE EXTERNAL ASSURANCE OF NAVAL TRAINING DELIVERY<br />

HRTSG conducts External Validation (ExVal) for the Naval Service, as tasked by Branch Managers (BMs) as Training Requirement<br />

Authorities (TRAs) under DACOS(BM). The ExVal team consists of an SO2 TM, an SO3 TM and five Branch-specific analysts. The<br />

analysts (OR7-OR9) should be SMEs in their source Branch, capable of day-to-day management of individual projects from start to<br />

finish, liaising with stakeholders as required.<br />

Tiered ExVal<br />

HRTSG will work with BMs to prioritise workload by Branch and across the ExVal team. Provisional work plans should be made, 6-<br />

12 months ahead, of those Courses identified for investigation.<br />

Capacity should be allocated for urgent requirements, although in some cases re-prioritisation may be necessary. The prioritised<br />

Courses should be split into the following categories:<br />

• Quick Look (QL). For maximum efficiency, key project stages are supported by pre-authorised templates. The QL<br />

questionnaire template will provide a snapshot as to the effectiveness of a Course in delivering TOs and the relevance of<br />

each TO to the associated job. Should responses provide no cause for concern, then it will be concluded that the Course<br />

is fit for purpose. If, however, the evidence points to a potentially major shortfall in training, a Full ExVal will be triggered.<br />

• Full ExVal. When a BM, for whatever reason, determines that a Course requires more detailed investigation, a Full ExVal<br />

will be conducted. The activities over and above the QL include, but are not limited to, expanded or targeted<br />

questionnaires; trainee and trainer interviews; enhanced stakeholder engagement; course observation; detailed<br />

recommendations.<br />
