It is presented as a goal statement followed by one or more "indicator" statements, which are performance objectives describing an ability that, upon attainment, will establish competency for the stated goal. Indicator statements are further qualified by one or more "benchmark" statements or observable behaviors describing what the trainee will do to prove that he/she is demonstrating achievement of the performance objective. Benchmark statements are followed by an "assessment" statement, which describes how the observer determines that the benchmark is achieved and establishes the criteria for performance.
