When is a Targeted JDTA typically directed?

A Targeted Job Duty Task Analysis (JDTA) is specifically initiated when there is insufficient course data to support a Human Performance Requirements Review (HPRR). The goal of conducting a Targeted JDTA in this context is to clarify the requirements and ensure that all necessary competencies and skills are adequately covered in the training program. This can happen when existing data does not fully articulate the tasks, knowledge, or skills needed by personnel in a particular job role or rating.

In situations where the standard data collection and analysis processes do not yield adequate information, a Targeted JDTA provides a focused approach to gather the necessary data to enhance training development or revision. This helps ensure that the training is aligned with current operational needs and effectively prepares personnel for their roles.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect the circumstances under which a Targeted JDTA would be directed. For example, a JDTA would not be required after the successful completion of a course or when a course is being developed from the ground up, as those situations typically involve different analysis and planning processes. Similarly, the occurrence of no mishaps during training does not inherently trigger the need for a Targeted JDTA, as it does not relate to the sufficiency of course data.
