• Select Courses and Develop Survey Documents
• Distribute Surveys to Select Companies
• Review Survey Responses and Input
Data Into Plan of Instruction for Analysis
• Make Curriculum Changes if Required
• Notify Industry of Curriculum Updates/Changes
CGA Survey Instrument
Review Plans of Instruction (POI)
Industry Feedback – AUT100-DC
Item 3
1. Power and current calculation should be taught at the 3 KSA
2. Since a small company, KSA for A1.1.1, A1.1.2 and A1.1.3 are at 4
3. Good to see root cause analysis in C1.2 performance objectives
Action Taken
1. & 2. – KSA’s are minimum course standards expected of successful
completers. Most objectives are taught at a higher level than the KSA
assigned but not less than that value. Individual companies may
require a higher level of understanding depending on their specific
needs.
3. No action required
Item 4
Since a small company, KSA for A1.1.1, A1.1.2 and A1.1.3 are at a 4.
