Demonstrate, Practice, Verify, Sign Off

The sequence

Demonstrate while narrating the decisions.

Practice under observation.

Verify against a reference.

Sign off on the observed result.

The decisions

What to sign off on. An observed outcome, not attendance and not the trainee's own assessment.

Because "do you understand?" has verified nothing, and a sign-off on an event is a record of an event rather than of a capability, per Module 53.

When to stop supervising. After the unsupervised run has been compared to the reference — not before.

What you are reading

The output, unsupervised.

And whether they can say what they were reading — which is the test that separates trained from exposed.

What goes wrong here

Signed off on attendance.

And supervision withdrawn before verification.

Verification

Run the station unsupervised and compare.

The boundary

Training records with personnel implications belong with a licensed attorney.
