Jason,

I have recommended that work area leads/supervisors define what outcomes (the "will be able tos") of the OJT, the best method of training on the job, and what the content should be to really help accomplish the outcomes. Sometimes the help of training development professionals is a wise choice.

Once this has been defined, call the OJT something - "Rolls Knardley 3200 Set-up" - and record who got the training on a form or in a computer file, who trained them, when, and any other pertinent info.

This will help make sure the OJT isn't being used as a cop-out...you know like, "Here you hang out with Bob for week and watch what he does. Ask him questions when you feel like it, and then you can do it by yourself."

Jason,

A simple training "log" can be developed identifying the employee, the OJT to be completed, the planned date of completion, and the individual that will be observing/evaluating OJT progress. Upon completion of the "planned" (required) training, the obsever/evaluator then needs to only sign off on and date the log. If need be a separate "qualification checklist" can be developed and signed off on as the trainee acquires the needed knowledge, skills or abilities. Even though it's a little more work, I like the checklists because they can be used to track OJT progress over time and in different areas - also such checklists are great for documenting initial qualifications of new hires or transferees.

Best of luck.

Mike Paten

Jason,
One way is to create a training log or a training book. All kinds of training can be logged in here be a certificate course or an on the job training. Create Column with titles like, type of training, date, place etc. Eg..

Type of training could indicate if it is a certificate course or an on the job...if it is on the job, capture the supervisor/ trainer etc..

Create an OJT Record form that contains:
The name of the trainee
The name of the trainer
The contents of the training (in bulleted format)
The date of completion of training
The signature of the trainer (I also suggest the signature of the trainee)
Additional info as required (i.e. limitations, date for re-training, etc.)

Have the trainer create the form at the beginning of the training and complete it at the end, file with other training records.

At my company, we keep a Job book on each part run. This book contains all the job instructions and inspection instructions, safety instructions..... Each document that requires an operator to be trained on includes a training sheet on the back of the document. When an employee is trained on that document, they sign the form and it becomes our training record.

Simply issue your own "certificate" for OJT! Use a controlled form that the trainer and trainee sign and date, showing what training was delivered, when and how (helps if the training content is also a controlled document; you'll also need evidence that the trainer is qualified to train!)
