answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2017 answer text <p>The single Services are required to consider the impact of any new equipment or upgrade across all the Defence Lines of Development (DLODs). One of these is the training DLOD. Consequently, when new equipment is introduced or upgraded there is a requirement for a training needs analysis which breaks down new training requirement(s). This looks at any training gap against current training and develops training solutions, and recommends an optimal one based on cost, benefit and risk. This process is conducted in accordance with the defence systems approach to training process, which is governed by a steering group of stakeholders from across the DLODs who endorse the training solution and then ensure any required changes are implemented.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 03/04/2017 14:33:01 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
