It is to that end, that these procedures have been designed.

Inputs

The inputs to Block I.4 include any existing job analyses, tasks selected for training, or job performance measures which have been developed. These existing materials can come from two separate sources:

It is more likely that the analysis of existing courses would take place within a service although many opportunities for sharing training do exist. It is more likely that new front-end work will have been the product of joint development efforts.

Procedures

There are two separate kinds of procedures involved. The first involves locating the existing courses and obtaining sufficient information to make a careful analysis. The second involves the analysis itself.
