What is an essential part of the training evaluation process in TRADOC Regulation 350-6?

• A. Identifying new training topics for future sessions
• B. Identifying and correcting deficiencies in training programs
• C. Conducting market research for training tools
• D. Focusing on budgetary allocations for training

Answer: (B)

Evaluating training in TRADOC Regulation 350-6 is about using the results of the training to improve the program. The essential part is identifying deficiencies revealed by the evaluation and taking corrective actions to fix them. This creates a continuous improvement loop: measure outcomes, compare them to standards, pinpoint where the training falls short, update curriculum, materials, or methods, and then re‑evaluate to confirm that improvements were effective. By consistently correcting deficiencies, the training stays aligned with job tasks and learning objectives, ensuring readiness and effectiveness.

Identifying new training topics belongs to needs assessment and curriculum development, not the evaluation and improvement process. Conducting market research for training tools is about selecting resources, not evaluating and refining the program. Focusing on budgetary allocations relates to resource planning, which is outside the primary aim of evaluation.
