The Options Evaluation is the final activity of the TOA. It compares training options against weighted criteria to recommend the preferred solution for the Training Needs Report. DTSM 2 specifies 6 evaluation criteria: Requirements met, Through-life cost, Implementation time, Trainer load, Risk assessment, and Flexibility. One option should be selected as a baseline for comparison.
