3. Prepare the trainee- The trainee should remain active during training. He should know that why is he being trained. He should put across the trainer questions and doubts. The trainee should be put at ease during the training programme.
4. Explain and demonstrate the operations- The trainer should explain the logical sequence of the job. The trainee should perform the job systematically and explain the complete job he is performing. His mistakes should be rectified and the complex step should be done for him once. When the trainee demonstrates that he can do the job in right manner, he is left to himself.
