This document provides guidance for evaluating requests for new training. It includes a script for gathering key information from the requester and a decision matrix for assessing the request against criteria like available resources, expertise, audience needs, management support, and alignment with goals. The matrix differentiates criteria around whether the training can be delivered versus should be delivered. Requests must meet criteria in both the "CAN" and "SHOULD" sections to be approved, with red cells indicating reasons to decline and green showing support for approval if no reds.
