Human Performance Requirements Review held at Center for Security Forces

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- The Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) hosted a human performance requirements review (HPRR) March 12-13, to evaluate and discuss the content for three courses that focus on naval corrections and brig operations afloat.

The formal courses under review were the Naval Corrections Specialist/NEC 9575 (A-831-0001), Naval Corrections Counselor/NEC 9516 (A-831-0002), and Brig Staff Afloat (A-831-0003).

Representatives from Naval Personnel Command (Code OOD), U.S. Fleet Forces Command, and various type commands were among the participants that reviewed more than 300 training tasks in two days.

A HPPR is required every 36 months by the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), but they may also occur more frequently if triggered by events. A triggering event includes a request from a resource sponsor, receiving vital fleet feedback, or as directed by the curriculum control authority.

"The HPRR process provides stakeholders the opportunity to review and assess existing training, identify redundancies and ensure proper alignment of training based on new or revised requirements," said Roy Wilde, CENSECFOR learning standards officer.

This process also affords stakeholders time to review and discuss the potential impacts that a new or revised training requirement could have on their respective communities.

"Once a consensus is reached and all action chits are both prioritized and approved, we then forward them to the resource sponsor for concurrence and funding commitment," Wilde said.

According to Wilde, several new training requirements were identified during the meeting and if the resource sponsor commits to sponsoring, this will signal the Center to proceed with the next phase of training development.

NETC's Course Development and Revision Process or End-to-End (E2E), is a process that guides a course of instruction from initial development through final delivery. The process is triggered by the emergence of new fleet training requirements, human performance requirements review, a change in occupational standards, or by internal course reviews.

CENSECFOR has experienced great success with the HPRR process having hosted several course reviews throughout 2012, including Level II Coxswain, Coastal Riverine Force, and Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape.

The Center for Security Forces provides specialized training to more than 28-thousand students each year throughout its 14-training sites located across the U.S. and around the world.
