Conduct and Record of Training

A. TRAINING SUPERVISOR:
While receiving practical training in an architect’s office, each trainee must work under the directions of
a ‘Training Supervisor’ who has a special responsibility for training. The ‘Training Supervisor’ must
forward a report about the performance of trainee, confidentially direct to the concerned Institute,
on performance of the trainee, during the period of training and, authenticate the information
recorded on the ‘Log-sheets’ and the ‘Daily Diary’ maintained by the trainee, by affixing his
signature thereon, so that the information could form the basis for viva voce examination for award of
the training marks.
B. DAILY DIARY:
The trainee should maintain a ‘Daily Diary’ during his practical training to supplement the information
kept in the Log-Sheets. The diary should contain enough details to refresh his memories after long interval
of time. It should have the record of work done during the office period and overtime. It is also the place
to record the decisions made regarding various projects and reasons behind them. He is also expected to
make his own comments on various decisions/discussions etc. taken for each project and his feeling of
what he has learnt from handling a particular job. This part should be given the sub-heading “comments”
and “observations.”
C. LOG-BOOK:
1 This ‘Log-Book’ contains an ‘Index Sheet’ marked as PT-2 and a set of ‘Log-Sheets’ marked as PT-
3A/ through PT-3C/ , in which you are expected to summarize and record theinformation of
work done by you during the training period. Following is the procedure thatis to be adopted for
filling up information. (Page number in serial order is to be written after (/) the slash.)
(A set of sample log sheets has been attached at the end of log book marked as PT-2/S (sample),
PT-3A/S (sample), PT-3B/S (sample) and PT -3 C/S (sample).
2 In the Index Sheet PT-2, you should record the details of your training office/s in the Table: 1/PT-2
which is titled as Index of Training Office, while the contents of next ‘Log-Sheets’ are summarized
in the Table: 2/PT-2, which is titled as Table of Contents.
3 You should supply the ‘Work information’ on the set of log sheets PT-3A, PT-3 B and PT- 3C. One
such set is to be used for one month. The table 1/PT-3A, seeks information regarding the projects
handled with the time (in hours) devoted to each project in a particular week. In the first column a
project serial number for each project is already printed. This serial number is referred to in tables
2/PT-3 B & 3/ PT-3C. In the next column ‘Office Job No.’ note down the number of jobs as allocated
by the training office for their records. In the next column write the number of hours spent by you
during office hours/certified over- time, for the particular project in the first calendar week (beginning
with 1st Monday of the calendar month), second week (beginning with 2nd Monday) and so on. The
column of remarks should carry brief note, if required.

vi
4 The table 2/PT-3B seeks to elaborate the information given in Table 1/PT-3A by expanding to the
number of hours put in the different types of work done in different projects. In the first major column
is listed the types of work that might have been done by you while on training. The second major
column provides 8 sub-columns which serialize the projects as indicated in table 1/PT -3A. In each
cell below various sub-columns, you should record the number of hours spent for different types of
work in the respective row. For example- Number of hours spent by you on preparing, say,
presentation drawing for project no. 2, 3, & 6 etc. should be recorded in the cell located at the
intersection of the row of presentation drawing and column of project serial no. 2,3, & 6, and
appropriate brief notes may be recorded in the column of remarks.
In the table 3/PT-3C should be recorded the brief descriptive details of the work done for the particular
project which is indicated by project serial number shown the table 1/PT- 3 A. For example- If you
have prepared, among the say working drawings, the foundation plan for a project it should be detailed
in the table in a suitable and brief description. You may make detailed supplementary notes in the
daily diary.
5 The information recorded on every log sheet should be verified by your supervisor in the space
provided on each ‘Log-Sheet’.
6 Important Note:
If one log sheet no. PT-3A/ falls short to record the number of projects handled by you in one month, make photocopies
and use it consecutively and add (2) after PT-3A__ to make it PT-3A__ (2) or PT -3A__ (3) etc. and likewise use additional
copies for log sheet PT-3B__ or PT-3C__.
