Narrative Training Entries
Training Entries
The Training side of the Narrative allows the FTO to document training and associate a single Performance Assessment Category (SEG) and one or more training codes to a written training entry. You can also associate a training entry to a specific performance entry.
Lack of concise description and bundling of training entries.
The Coaching Model prohibits bundling of training entries. In the image below we see an example of a common error made by by FTO's where they associate training time with multiple SEG's. (bundling of training entries). The training entries are also missing concise narrative descriptions of the training provided. This is IMPROPER and NOT allowed.
The Training entry below is properly executed training entry. It includes a concise description and is associated with a single SEG.

Further regarding HAT's and CAN's
- HAT's (Handled as Trained) can only be added on the Performance side of the Narrative.
- CAN's (Corrective Action Necessary) can be added on the performance or training side of the narrative.
- Please make sure you ONLY add it on one side, do NOT hit the probationer with the same number category CAN on both sides of the Narrative.
- Who and Where you add the CAN is generally dependent on agency preference.
- If your agencies FTO's notate CAN's, its easier to select it on the Training side.
- If Your agency has probationers select which categories are CAN, its easier to manage that from the Performance side of the Narrative.
