What does the Course Curriculum Model Manager (CCMM) approve in relation to testing?

The Course Curriculum Model Manager (CCMM) plays a critical role in ensuring that the testing process within a training program is effective and aligned with the overall educational objectives. In this context, the approval of the test design and master test item bank is essential because it involves the development of assessment tools that measure trainees' knowledge and skills accurately.

The test design outlines how assessments will be structured, including the types of questions that will be used, the format of the tests, and how they will address the learning outcomes established for the course. The master test item bank is a compilation of all the approved test questions, which serves as a resource for generating assessments that maintain consistency and validity across evaluations.

Having an approved test design and master test item bank ensures that assessments are both reliable and standardized, leading to fair evaluation and measuring the effectiveness of the training provided. This approval process supports the integrity of the testing framework, ultimately contributing to the quality of the training programs within the Navy.
