FOREWORD
The purpose of the Guide to Good Practices for Training and Qualification of Maintenance Personnel
is to provide contractor training organizations with information that can be used to verify the
adequacy of and/or modify existing maintenance training programs, or to develop new training
programs. DOE contractors should not feel obligated to adopt all parts of this guide. Rather, they
can use the information contained in this guide to develop programs that are applicable to their
facility.
This guide, used in conjunction with facility-specific job analyses, provides a framework for training
and qualification programs for maintenance personnel at DOE reactor and nonreactor nuclear
facilities. Recommendations for qualification are made in four areas: education, experience, physical
attributes, and training. The functional positions of maintenance mechanic, electrician, and
instrumentation and control technician are covered by this guide. Sufficient common knowledge and
skills were found to include the three disciplines in one guide to good practices.
Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data that may

1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose
This guide provides recommended education, experience, and training for maintenance personnel.
Training and qualification programs based on the content of this guide should provide assurance that
maintenance personnel perform their jobs safely and competently.
1.2 Background
DOE and contractor representatives identified the need for maintenance personnel training and
qualification guidance. This need was based on the increasing emphasis on properly conducting
maintenance activities in the nuclear industry. Maintenance has become a focal point because of its
impact on facility operation and safety.
This guide was based on a detailed review of maintenance mechanic, electrician, and
instrumentation and control technician Job/Task Analysis (JTA) data. Sufficient common knowledge
and skills were found to include the three disciplines in one guidance document.
This guide to good practices was developed based on the results of the commercial utility industry-
wide JTA, industry operating experience, and general industry Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) training requirements.
1.3 Application
The content of this guide is generally applicable to all DOE reactor and nonreactor nuclear facilities
with the exception of those topics which relate specifically to reactor activities. Portions of the
programs outlined may not be applicable to all facilities because maintenance department
organizations, disciplines, titles, and responsibilities vary among DOE reactor and nonreactor nuclear
facilities. Facility training personnel can verify the adequacy or improve existing training programs by
adapting this guide to their specific facility and individual maintenance disciplines.
1
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
1.3.1 Discussion
Each facility should use a systematic approach to analyze its training needs to develop a facility-
specific training program. Analysis results should be used to establish training program learning
objectives, test items, instructional methods, and instructional settings. Performance measures used
Section 5
to evaluate employees’ performance and assess training effectiveness can also be derived from the
analysis. By modifying this guide, users may develop training programs for each discipline that meet
facility-specific needs.
Full implementation of quality training requires a long-term commitment. Training activities should be
carefully managed to produce effective results. Training plans should be developed, organizations
should be staffed with qualified instructors, and sufficient controls should be applied to ensure
delivery of an effective training program.
Training programs should be evaluated on a regular basis to determine the extent to which
established learning objectives are being accomplished. Evaluation results should be used to
improve training plans, facilities, programs, materials, and procedures. In addition, a systematic
method to update training program content as a result of facility modifications, operating experiences,
procedure changes, and changes in job requirements should be implemented.
2
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
2. GOALS
2.1 Initial Qualification
The goal of initial training and qualification is to ensure that maintenance personnel, including
maintenance trainers, possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their assigned
responsibilities in an efficient, cost-effective manner that promotes safe and reliable facility
operations.
2.2 Continuing Training
Continuing training programs are designed and implemented to maintain and enhance the proficiency
of maintenance personnel. The goal of this program is to provide assurance that maintenance
personnel knowledge and skills are maintained with regard to changes in facility physical and
procedural modifications, changes to DOE and regulatory requirements, and lessons learned from
industry and facility-specific operating experience. Improvement in job performance and
development of broader scope and depth of job-related knowledge and skills are also goals of a
continuing training program.
Maintenance trainers should continue their professional development both in subject matter and
instructional skills by such activities as attending conferences, taking additional college and/or
specialized skill courses, and exchanging training ideas with other training organizations.

3. QUALIFICATIONS
3.1 Qualification Levels
This guide does not attempt to establish a minimum or maximum number of qualification levels.
However, it is recommended that more than one level within each discipline be established to allow
early entry of trained personnel into the maintenance workforce and to provide a career path (e.g.,
apprentice, journeyman, master). Qualification levels should be defined and included in job
descriptions, and the training needs for each level should be identified during the design of individual
training programs.
3.1.1 Maintenance Disciplines
This guide should be taken as indicative of the training necessary to achieve the highest qualification
level in each discipline. Each individual may not need to qualify for every task. Training should
include, as a minimum, those fundamentals applicable to the tasks on which the individual is being
qualified.
Fundamentals will ordinarily be defined by a job analysis. The trainee should demonstrate mastery
of the tasks or type of tasks assigned under the direction of a person qualified to perform the task
Section 6
prior to assuming independent responsibility. Incumbents should be qualified at their present level
before advancing to the next level.
3.1.2 Maintenance Trainers
Minimum qualifications for all maintenance training positions should be documented for the following
areas:
Education
Training experience
Applicable job experience.
5
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
Documentation should clearly state who verifies that instructors meet the minimum qualifications for
the positions they hold. Additional guidance relative to qualification of training personnel may be
found in DOE-STD-1001-96 Guide to Good Practices for Training and Qualification of Instructors.
3.2 Education
Educational requirements should be consistent with those stipulated in DOE Orders and in regulatory
documents. A high school education or General Education Development (GED) equivalent is
recommended for entry into maintenance training programs.
3.3 Physical Attributes
The following physical attributes are recommended for safe performance of assigned tasks:
Natural or corrected near-distance visual acuity
Color vision sufficient to discern system and component color coding
Hearing sufficient to respond properly to audible alarms and use communications systems
Sufficient strength, motor power, range of motion, and dexterity to allow access to facility
equipment and meet job performance requirements.
3.4 Training
The trainee should complete the training described in this guide or be granted an exception in
accordance with Section 5. When an individual has equivalent previous experience, education,
and/or training in a college or university, technical school, or another nuclear facility or military
facility, that individual may be excepted from training.
3.5 Subcontractor Personnel
Training for subcontracted-services personnel should be consistent with the duties being assigned.
These personnel should be qualified on the task they will be performing or should be directly
supervised by a person qualified to perform the task.
6
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
4. ON-THE-JOB TRAINING (OJT)
OJT is designed to prepare employees for job performance through one-on-one training and
performance testing that is conducted by qualified OJT instructors in the actual work environment. It
provides hands-on experience, and has the advantage of providing training for tasks that are of
immediate need to the employee. OJT is limited to those situations where it is administratively and
physically possible to conduct the training (i.e., where facilities are adequate, where OJT can be
conducted without significant interference with facility operations, and where qualified personnel are
available to conduct and manage the OJT program).
All on-the-job training programs at DOE facilities should be based on a systematic approach to
training. For further guidance on developing, implementing, and evaluating an OJT program, refer to
DOE-STD-1012-92 Guide to Good Practices for On-the-Job Training.

5. TRAINEE EVALUATION
5.1 Introduction
The quality of training programs, course content, and instructional methods is best evaluated by
monitoring trainee performance. This guide outlines training that occurs in multiple training settings.
Different methods of evaluating trainee performance during these training programs are appropriate.
Among these methods are written examinations and quizzes, oral examinations, and performance
Section 7
tests. It is important that evaluation methods are consistent with the training setting. General
guidelines for using these evaluation methods are given below.
5.2 Knowledge Evaluation
In knowledge areas such as administrative, academic, and systems training, the recommended
method of trainee evaluation is the use of written short-answer, multiple-choice, or essay
examinations at the conclusion of each course. Oral examinations may also be used to determine
knowledge level. Periodic written quizzes can measure trainee retention during training courses.
The examination should address all subjects within that course and be designed to measure
retention, understanding, and the ability of the trainee to apply theoretical knowledge. To test the
trainees’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge, the examination may include a number of essay
questions. Performance on written examinations should be measured against established learning
objectives and an answer key.
5.3 Performance Tests
Performance tests should be structured to measure trainees’ performance against established
criteria. Areas that should be covered include:
Technical and facility administrative procedure usage
Tool and equipment selection
Equipment operation
Industrial safety practices
Facility safety and reliability awareness
Task performance.
9
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
The evaluation of each trainee should be conducted as the trainee either performs or simulates and
discusses the complete task. The perform option is preferred whenever practical. Evaluation
standards should be used to ensure consistency in evaluating performance tests. When the trainees
have completed fundamental training, they may be considered ready for individual task qualification.
5.4 Exceptions
Maintenance personnel may be excepted from training on the basis of their prior education,
experience, and/or training. Appropriate level management review of an individual’s prior training
record and job performance history may provide the basis for this exception. Exceptions granted
and justification for the exception should be documented and included in the individual’s training
record.
Tests may be provided to except newly hired, experienced personnel from specific training
requirements. When tests are used to establish the basis for an exception, the individual considered
for exception should pass examinations on the specific subject areas and demonstrate competency
in the skills areas. Exception from training requirements should not include exception from
successfully completing the required qualification examination(s).
10
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
6. CONTINUING TRAINING
6.1 Introduction
Continuing training needs should be identified from job analysis information and the results of
ongoing training program evaluation. Evaluation ensures that the training program is current and
relevant and that job performance does not degrade.
6.2 Facility-Specific Systems Training
Facility-specific systems training provides an understanding of overall facility operations. Since much
of this subject matter is not reinforced by direct use, a biennial training schedule is recommended.
As a minimum, safety-related systems identified in the facility Safety Analysis Report should be
included. Lectures or self-study are methods of presenting the material. Written examinations,
similar in difficulty and scope to initial examinations, should be administered in accordance with
Section 5, Trainee Evaluation.
Section 8
6.3 Fundamentals Training
The fundamentals continuing training program should maintain and improve technical skills and
knowledge. Since basic technical knowledge as well as specialized technical knowledge could be
lacking when infrequently repaired or newly supplied equipment breaks down, fundamentals
instruction should be provided on a continuing basis.
Written examinations, similar in difficulty and scope to initial examinations, should be administered in
accordance with Section 5, Trainee Evaluation.
6.4 Special Training
Special training should be provided to address seldom-used skills, observed problems, or anticipated
training needs. Infrequently performed tasks should be evaluated to determine if training is needed.
Task difficulty, importance to facility safety and reliability, and As Low As Reasonably Achievable
(ALARA) should be used to help determine training needs and required depth of coverage. Written
11
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
examinations or performance tests should be administered in accordance with Section 5, Trainee
Evaluation.
Special training is recommended to address the following situations:
Degraded job performance
Changes to procedures
Facility modifications
Industry and in-house operating experience.
6.5 Scheduling and Attendance
Continuing training should be conducted using a published schedule that minimizes interference with
facility operational schedules. Topics should be chosen that meet the needs of individuals assigned
during the training cycle. Training provided should be of high quality and be responsive to
time-sensitive input. Attendance should be mandatory and documented.

DOE-HDBK-1003-96
7. TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION
7.1 Introduction
To establish and maintain an effective qualification program, a periodic evaluation of program
effectiveness is necessary. A thorough evaluation process includes assessment of the training
process and of the qualified individual’s performance on the job.
7.2 Evaluation of the Training Process
In evaluating the training process, the content of the program, the training materials, and the quality
and method of instruction should be considered. Requirements for the conduct and frequency of
these evaluations should be defined in appropriate procedures.
Program content should be reviewed and modified to reflect feedback from previous programs,
changes to facility systems or procedures, new or different test equipment, regulations, codes, or
standards affecting the worker. Also modifications should reflect any other pertinent changes that
have occurred since the course content was established. Such a review could involve course
instructors, the training supervisor, the maintenance supervisor, management, training specialists
from other sites, or training consultants.
Instructional techniques should be evaluated periodically during the course of the training program.
The methods of instruction used in various portions of the program should be evaluated periodically
during and after the program. These evaluations should be used to determine if more appropriate or
effective methods could be used for portions of the program. For example, certain topics might be
covered better in a laboratory or during on-the-job training rather than in a classroom lecture. Input
for this kind of evaluation could come from trainees, instructors, the training supervisor, training
specialists or consultants, and the job analysis.

Section 9
7.3 Evaluation of Post-Training Job Performance
The effectiveness of the training program can be measured only by evaluating the performance of
trained individuals. At some facilities, formal performance appraisals may be conducted periodically
as part of the salary review process. While some useful training feedback can be obtained from
such an appraisal, a more effective training feedback system would focus specifically on
training-related items.
Several methods for obtaining training-related feedback can be used in a formal evaluation program
and should include one or more of the following:
Interviews with job incumbents after the completion of training (for example, three months) -
these interviews should reveal the individual’s perception of the adequacy and usefulness of
the training received, including questions directed at specific topics, tasks, or duty areas
Interviews with supervisors after the completion of a program - the supervisor should provide
valuable feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the training program revealed through
the job performance of recently trained workers
Evaluations of workers’ skills and knowledge by the training organization after completion of
training.
To maximize the effectiveness of any technique used in a training evaluation program, the individuals
responsible for gathering the information should be trained. Whatever techniques are used, they
should be formalized to establish the specific objectives of the program and the procedures for
achieving those objectives. A recommended method for structuring the evaluation program is to
focus feedback on the stated learning objectives of the training program (i.e., was this learning
objective valid, was it achieved, what objectives were missed?). Procedures should be utilized to
ensure that evaluation findings are resolved. The quality of the maintenance training program can
be improved in the following ways:
Facility operating, maintenance and industrial safety experiences are reviewed to identify
areas in which new or improved training may be needed to solve operational problems
Employees provide feedback on how well training enabled them to perform their jobs and how
training might be improved
14
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
Managers and supervisors observe maintenance activities to verify adequacy of training and
adherence to policies and procedures
Facility inspection and evaluation reports are reviewed for training implications
Facility modifications and procedure changes are reviewed for training implications
Regulatory changes are reviewed for their impact on training.

8. PROGRAM RECORDS
Auditable records of each individual’s participation and performance in, or exception(s) granted from,
the training program(s) should be maintained. Individual training records should include the following
(as appropriate):
Verified education, experience, employment history, and most recent health evaluation
summary
Training programs completed and qualification(s) achieved
Latest completed checklists, graded written examinations (with answers corrected as
necessary or examination keys) and operational evaluations used for qualification (this
requires controlled access to training records to maintain examination security)
Lists of questions asked and the examiner’s overall evaluation of responses on oral
examinations
Section 10
Correspondence relating to exceptions granted to training requirements (including justification
and approval)
Records of qualification for one-time-only special tests or operations
Attendance records for required training courses or sessions.
A historical record that documents initial qualification on each position should be maintained as part
of individual training records. For example, if an individual initially qualified in 1986, the record
should have the date and name of the qualification entered into it. If more than one qualification is
achieved and maintained, the individual training record should contain documentation to that effect.
For presently held qualification(s), the completed examinations, checklists, operational evaluations,
etc., should be maintained in the record. (Some facilities may prefer to maintain a separate file of
completed examinations with answer keys for each individual.) When an individual holds
qualification for multiple positions, records that support current qualifications for each position should
be maintained. Duty area or task qualification should be documented using a similar method (for
facilities that use duty area or task qualification instead of position qualification). Functional
supervisors should have access to qualification records, as necessary, to support the assignment of
work to qualified personnel.
17
DOE-HDBK-1003-96
Upon requalification, records that support the previous qualification may be removed from the record
and replaced with the information documenting present qualification. Superseded information should
be handled in accordance with procedures contained in DOE 1324.5B, Records Management
Program.
In addition, records of the training programs (which should include an audit trail documenting the
development of and modifications to each program) and evaluations of the effectiveness of those
programs should also be maintained.
