Narrative:

I completed the first phase of our computer based online integration training last night. I am very familiar with what the changes are because I am on the group that developed them; so I knew all the answers to the test.there have been numerous reports of pilots being able to complete the training without ever answering a question correctly. I chose to do this on purpose to validate or refute those claims. It is sad to say that I passed the test having not gotten one answer correct. I don't believe the current training as a whole is adequate; nor do I believe the validation is adequate; in that there is no test of actual assimilation.again; I truly understand the changes. I know why they were chosen as I am a participant in this process as a member of the integration group. I chose to exercise the system to validate that never answering correctly still allows a pilot to pass. I'm pretty sure that this is not the way to test. If a pilot can pass a test showing no skill or knowledge acquired; it is not a valid test. This seems to me to be a means to claim compliance with regulations instead of a real training program with objectives and validation.
