How many quarters are in a long range training plan?

• A. 4 Quarters
• B. 5 Quarters, 1 current + 4 future
• C. 6 Quarters
• D. 3 Quarters

Answer: (B)

Long-range training planning looks beyond just the current quarter and uses a horizon that includes the current quarter plus the four quarters that come after. This five-quarter view, effectively a coming-year plan, lets you align training needs with projected workloads, budgets, and available resources so scheduling happens smoothly and objectives for the year are met. If you only plan for a shorter window, you risk gaps or misaligned timing; if you push the horizon too far out, budgeting and logistics become less reliable for practical execution.
