Training is the acquisition of skills, concepts or attitudes that result in improved performance and safety within the job environment. To successfully use a complex system it is often necessary to be trained in its use. Formal methods can be used to make sure that this training is as safe, efficient and effective as possible.

Training needs analysis ensures that the training ultimately being delivered is optimally suited to the operational requirements of the customer, and is effective in its delivery of learning material.

At HFE Solutions we have extensive experience in applying a structured approach to the identification of training requirements and the assessment of these requirements against different training solutions. By identifying the training gap (between what training is provided and what training is required) and the key elements that need to be assessed, we can design an effective training programme.

Although there is considerable overlap between training analysis carried out for commercial and military applications, there are some specific requirements for the development of military training systems: most noticeably JSP502, DTSM3 and SAT.

The consultants at HFE Solutions have been involved in a large number of training programmes for the MoD. We have also developed and validated a unique profiling and selection method that allows us to identify the most appropriate and cost effective media for your training programme.

A synthetic environment is a representation of all or part of a real environment, including the constraints and relationships of the objects in that environment. Using a synthetic environment for training purposes allows realistic training exercises to take place in a controlled environment. HFE Solutions have experience in the selection and assessment of suitable synthetic environments and simulators in addition to having utilised them in a number of training projects.

The dynamic nature of an emergency generates specific training requirements which must be identified and analysed, before appropriate training can be implemented. The tasks that must be carried out in order to deal with potential emergencies must also be identified and analysed before a response system can be designed. At HFE Solutions we have experience in integrating emergency responses with the normal running of the system, as well as in designing dedicated response systems that are activated in emergency situations.
