GM1 ADR.OR.D.017(e) Training and proficiency check programmes ED Decision 2021/003/R INITIAL TRAINING METHODS (a) The methods to be used for the delivery of the theoretical training include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) lecture; (2) lesson/demonstration; (3) case study; (4) exercises, including computer-based practical exercises; (5) facilitation; (6) group work; (7) interactive training; and (8) supervised practices. (b) The methods to be used for the competency assessment of the trainees upon completion of the theoretical training could include: (1) practical demonstration; (2) computer-based assessment; (3) oral or written assessments; or combinations of such methods, as appropriate. When determining the method(s) to be used for the assessment of the trainees, the advantages and the limitations of each method, as well as the objectives of the training, would need to be taken into account. For example, the oral assessment may be used to test the understanding of the trainees around certain issues, as well as the requirements governing them, to have a clearer indication that the trainee not only knows what he or she should be doing in a given case, but also why he or she should be doing it. However, the oral assessment requires considerable skills and it should be undertaken in a way that ensures consistency among individual assessors. On the other hand, written assessments may also be used to test the theoretical knowledge and to a lesser degree the understanding of the trainees. Written tests may be easier to administer and to ensure their consistency, particularly when using multiple-choice questions. However, multiple-choice questions may test knowledge, but they may not be appropriate for determining how a person would react in an operational situation. A written assessment may also be computer-based.
