On-the-Job Training

Learners use a personal User ID to access the learning requirements for their specific job. This collection of tiles identifies the knowledge and skills to be completed. Colours, notifications, and views reflect the status of the folder. When learners have identified the skill that they want to work on,

they point and click to access the resources for that skill. Resources may include technical descriptions, standard operations procedures, computer based training, etc.

The learning resources help learners meet the learning objectives and prepare for the knowledge evaluation. Learners are encouraged to read descriptions, review procedures or other documents, attend seminars or webinars, and consult with experience personnel.

The final test is designed to confirm mastery of the knowledge portion of the skill. Learners are encouraged to use a waiting period after an unsuccessful test attempt to review materials and work through the test again. Completing the online test successfully turns the learning item green indicating competency in the knowledge component.

The learner approaches a designated coach for the practical demonstration. This demonstration will be completed using the target performance standard, along with the learning guide and any other relevant learning resources.

The practice time is established according to the type of task or the skill required. Practice is required to develop the learner’s ability to perform the skill on the job and reinforce best practices on the job. Learners are encouraged to get feedback and input from peers as they practice.

Evaluation includes a review of the important knowledge requirements, especially hazards and precautions. The practical portion of the evaluation will be completed by a competent team member or supervisor with direct reference to the checklist and performance standards.

The administrator and designated supervisor(s) have security access to enter the practical completion date for learners, thereby changing the practical component of the folder(s) from orange to green indicating that competency has been achieved for that skill.

If a learning item needs to be re-certified, it will change from green to red on the date of expiry. At that point, learners are notified that they must re-complete that particular skill. And in situations where it is important to conduct ongoing evaluations to ensure a standard of performance, evaluators can complete multiple evaluations for a particular skill.
