CBT is cost effective:
You can easily save 0.5 day or more using CBT. Instead of taking a number of crew out of production they can be scheduled individually with a "short trip." -
Eliminates travel expenses, hotel costs and per diem rates.
CBT works with flight crew:
The trainee feels in control. The computer is non-judgmental and non-threatening. It provides a privacy factor that reduces trainees' embarrassment about taking "remedial" classes or making mistakes while answering questions in the training materials. -
The computer actively engages the trainee in the training process, providing increased trainee satisfaction.
CBT is self-paced, flexible, and individualized:
Trainees work at their own pace. CBT can sequence training to match the trainee's needs. The computer can always match the trainee's schedule. CBT provides immediate feedback to trainees on their progress. -
CBT does not have to be delivered to all employees simultaneously, and allows the company to maintain coverage of critical positions.
CBT is tireless:
CBT gives trainers increased control over training activities:
provides management systems for tracking trainees' progress and location. provides on-line testing to match a trainee with needed training. provides consistency of training in terms of quality and information presented. -
provides standardization of training when training occurs in several work locations simultaneously.
CBT can reduce resource requirements:
You can have a higher trainee-to-trainer ratio, where the instructor serves as facilitator, assisting trainees as needed. There is less need for a centralized training facility. -
Facilitators can serve more than one company with a CBT program, lessening the investment each company would have to make.
Computer-based training is not, however, the answer to every training need.
It is more appropriate—effective and cost efficient—in some situations than others. The material in this guide will help you determine when it can effectively meet your training needs
