submitted to the departmental manager for his evaluation and comments.

Continual assessment and evaluation

After each period of training, specific course or internal departmental training, the trainee will
submit a revisionary report to the Parts training instructor. The report will be passed via the Parts
Training Instructor to the General Manager Parts who will then appraise the trainee.

The Parts Training Instructor and General Manager Parts will review the training program every 6
months with the Group Service Training Manager to ensure training is on schedule and meeting
the needs of the business.

New appointees will complete a Daily training diary and the General Manager Parts will complete
Monthly evaluation sheets (See appendices 4.0)
