Use & Relationship
The Course Conduct Information Package provides data required by the Government to support outsourcing the conduct of training. This data will provide sufficient information to permit an accurate evaluation of a trainee's capabilities to meet all learning objectives of a course. This data will also identify prerequisite skills and knowledge of trainees entering the course. The course conduct information package also provides information for trainees regarding the training syllabus, training organization, operating, scheduling, etc. It also provides information on an evaluation of the trainee's performance, the trainee evaluation of training, and a certificate of completion of training for the trainee.
