What is the difference between a Revision and an Amendment in a Training Order?

• A. Revision is for typos; Amendment is for major structural changes.
• B. They are the same.
• C. Revision updates content or objectives; Amendment makes minor changes not requiring full re-approval.
• D. Revision involves budget changes; Amendment is about assignments.

Answer: (C)

In a Training Order, a revision is used for substantive updates to the document—changes to content or learning objectives that alter what the training covers or what trainees are expected to achieve. Because these updates can affect scope, outcomes, and requirements, they typically go through formal review and re-approval.

An amendment is for small, non-substantive tweaks that don’t change the overall structure, scope, or outcomes. These are minor corrections or clarifications, like adjusting a contact, updating a date, or fixing wording, and they don’t require a full re-approval.

So, updating core content or objectives = revision; making minor, non-structural edits = amendment.
