What is the three-tier rating system in the ART?

• A. One, two, three
• B. On target, satisfactory, delinquent
• C. Red, yellow, green
• D. Met objective, close to objective, fail objective

Answer: (C)

The ART uses a simple color-coded status to convey how well a trainee has met each objective. The three tiers are green, yellow, and red. Green means the objective is fully met and mastery is demonstrated; no additional remediation is needed. Yellow indicates partial attainment or near-mastery—there are gaps that should be addressed with targeted review or extra practice. Red signals that the objective was not met and requires remediation before proceeding.

This color system gives a fast, intuitive read on performance, so instructors and students can quickly see what needs work and prioritize study time. For example, strong performance across the essential criteria would be green, partial or emerging understanding would be yellow, and failing or missing key criteria would be red.
