How do OC/Ts approach the assessment of individual training needs?

The assessment of individual training needs is effectively approached by analyzing performance during exercises. This method allows OC/Ts to gather direct observations of each individual's skills, interactions, and overall performance in a practical setting. By assessing how trainees perform tasks in real-time, OC/Ts can identify specific strengths and areas for improvement. This enables them to tailor training recommendations to meet the unique needs of each participant, ensuring that training is relevant and impactful.

Using performance analysis during exercises also provides valuable insights into how individuals apply their skills under pressure and in dynamic environments, which is essential for developing effective training plans. This practical, observation-based approach is often more beneficial than relying solely on feedback from discussions, standardized tests, or passive observation without providing feedback, all of which may not accurately reflect an individual’s true capabilities or potential for growth.
