Which of the following is a step in the 4-step training process?

• A. Introduce
• B. Shadow
• C. Perform
• D. Validate

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is how a structured training cycle is sequenced, specifically which activity starts the process. In a four-step training model, you begin by Introduce, which sets up what will be learned, the standards, safety considerations, and the overall goal. This initial stage gives the learner context and a clear target, so everything that follows—observing someone perform the task (shadow), actually doing the task (perform), and being checked for mastery (validate)—has a solid foundation to build on. Without this introduction, the subsequent steps would lack direction and clarity.

Shadow, Perform, and Validate are each important parts of the cycle, representing observing, practicing, and confirming competence, respectively. But Introduce is the starting point that frames the entire training effort.
