Water-treatment operators are scheduled for SCADA-awareness training. Several lack the listed computer-skills prerequisite. What should the instructor do before delivery?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A prerequisite is a gate, not a wish. If operators barely use a keyboard, the SCADA class will stall on the first demo. Check actual skill against the listed bar before delivery, then decide how to proceed.
Full Explanation
Prerequisites are planning controls, not courtesy suggestions. When water-treatment operators are scheduled for SCADA-awareness training and several lack the listed computer-skills bar, the instructor must assess current skill against those prerequisites and plan remediation, grouping, or timing accordingly before delivery. Assuming the roster is ready merely because operations assigned names treats assignment as proof of readiness and invites a stalled first demo. Dropping the computer-skills prerequisite from the outline to avoid embarrassment removes a design gate that protects later SCADA objectives and lowers the course without solving the skill gap. Converting the session into a full IT fundamentals curriculum and canceling SCADA objectives abandons the sponsored outcome in favor of an unplanned different course. Exam caveat: CTT+ planning items treat prerequisite gaps as signals for analysis and adaptation planning, not as reasons to discard either prerequisites or the primary objectives wholesale. Operational check: run a short skills probe against the published computer prerequisites, document who is ready versus who needs a pre-session lab or buddy support, and brief the plant training coordinator before the SCADA class start time.
