What is one of the main goals of OC/Ts during the training evaluation phase?

One of the main goals of OC/Ts (Observer Coach/Trainer) during the training evaluation phase is to assess participants’ ability to handle pressure. This aspect of training is crucial because the evaluation phase often simulates real-world scenarios that trainees might encounter in high-stress situations. By evaluating how participants perform under pressure, OC/Ts can gauge not only their tactical proficiency but also their mental resilience and decision-making skills when faced with challenging circumstances. This assessment helps identify areas for improvement and ensures that participants are prepared for the demands of their roles in actual operational environments.

The focus is on creating a realistic training atmosphere where participants can demonstrate their capabilities and refine them, which is a key component of effective training programs.
