performance appraisal. The minimum requirement for passing a phase evaluation is a score of
70% overall and 70% on each correspondence school instruction unit or classroom course. Upon
satisfactory completion of the phase evaluation and other performance requirements, the trainee
will be advanced to the next training phase.
5-10. Failure to Maintain Satisfactory Progress. Each trainee is responsible for maintaining
satisfactory progress in academic studies and on-the-job training. The evaluations will determine
the trainee's progress. Non-satisfactory evaluations will be handled as below:
a. Failing Periodic Evaluations. If the results of a periodic evaluation are unsatisfactory,
the appropriate supervisor will discuss the results with the trainee, determine reasons for
unacceptable progress, counsel the trainee on improvements needed, provide an appropriate
improvement period as prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations,
provide the trainee with appropriate assistance, and give the trainee a make-up performance test
at the end of improvement period. If the trainee's performance is unsatisfactory in two
consecutive makeup evaluations, a recommendation shall be made to the training board to remove
that trainee from the training program. The training coordinator or appropriate supervisor shall
ensure that any trainee who is having a problem with satisfactory performance is placed with at
least one other craft person before beginning of the remedial period leading to probable removal
from the training program.
b. Failing Phase Evaluations. If the result of a phase (6-month) evaluation is
unsatisfactory, the training board will inform the appropriate supervisor. The supervisor will
notify the trainee in writing of unsatisfactory performance, inform the trainee of the specific
deficiencies, what the trainee must do to overcome the deficiencies, provide an appropriate
improvement period, and provide the trainee with appropriate assistance. At the end of the
improvement period, the training board will re-administer the phase evaluation. Failure at two
consecutive phase evaluations or three non-consecutive phase evaluations any time during the
training period shall require removal of the trainee from the training program in accordance with
the OPM regulations.
5-11. Training Accomplishments. After successful completion of four years of training, as
prescribed in this EP, a trainee will be eligible to advance to journeyman status and should have
the academic knowledge and practical skills for his respective trade as described in Appendix H.
5-12. Training Records. Complete training and performance evaluation records will be
maintained for each trainee. A set of obsolete forms are enclosed in Appendix I to illustrate the
types of records needed for each phase of the program.
5-13. Certificate of Completion. Each trainee who successfully completes the training program
will be presented with a Certificate of Training on DA Form 87, included as Appendix J.
