Training To A Standard
It’s just what we do!
In leaving a school or training seminar a student should have a command of the information that they just learned and a good idea of their own competency in applying the skill sets that they just acquired.
Training to a standard is about establishing the end goal, or identifying what skill sets are to be imparted during the training event.
Often undervalued is the instruction phase. The instructor must have a solid grasp of the subject material. The instructor should know how to apply the skills and have a successful track record of applying the skill sets included in the subject matter. Finally the instructor should possess the skill sets of “an instructor”. An individuals knowledge and experience is of little value if they are not skilled at imparting the information to the student.
Finally there must be a measurement of the capacity to which the student mastered the knowledge of the material and also a measurement of how well the student can apply the knowledge. If a student is trained to a standard, they will leave the school knowing the material, and know how effective they are at the application of the information.
A good school will also look at the results of the student measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction. Training to a standard insures that the best instruction must be maintained, subject matter and skill sets are clearly defined, and employers can expect consistent competency from the students of that school.

Training to a standard establishes conpetencies that are trained and the measured
