The 7-Step OJT Process

Step 3: Student Tells - Trainer Shows

This step is necessary when exposure to hazards inherent in the procedure could cause serious harm.

In this step, the learner instructs the trainer.

It protects the student because the trainer performs the procedure. The student explains the procedure to the trainer, while the trainer performs the steps. This gives the trainer an opportunity to discover whether there were any misunderstandings in the previous step. The student also responds to trainer questions.

The student tells the trainer how to perform each step and responds to the trainer's questions.

The trainer performs each step as directed by the student and questions the student about the step.
