In the JDTA, the component 'What to train' defines what?

• A. The topics and tasks to be trained
• B. The budget for training
• C. The scheduling of courses
• D. The evaluation criteria

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the part of the JDTA labeled “What to train” identifies the exact content the training must cover—the topics and tasks that trainees need to learn to perform the job effectively. It sets the scope of the curriculum by specifying the specific subjects and actions that training material should address, ensuring the course trains for the real duties of the job.

This area isn’t about resources, scheduling, or how performance will be measured. Budgets focus on costs and resources, scheduling deals with when courses occur, and evaluation criteria determine how you assess success. By defining the topics and tasks to be trained, you ground the entire training development process in the actual job requirements.
