Which of the following is an element of Continuation Training?

• A. Proficiency Assessments
• B. Initial Qualification Training
• C. On-the-Job Training
• D. Unit Familiarization

Answer: (A)

Continuation Training focuses on keeping skills current after the initial qualification by regularly practicing and testing performance. Proficiency assessments fit this purpose because they formally measure whether you can perform required tasks to standard, track improvement over time, and reveal gaps that retraining can address. In contrast, initial qualification training is about earning the original credential, not sustaining it. Unit familiarization helps you learn a unit’s organization and routines, usually at or near assignment, rather than continuously validating performance. On-the-job training is a practical method used to learn tasks during daily work, but as a persistent program component, it supports qualification and proficiency improvements rather than serving as the evaluation element itself. So proficiency assessments are the element of Continuation Training.
