Benefits
of (CBT) Computer Based Training
1. Your employees can self-pace
themselves throughout the courses.
People learn at different levels and
rates. If they know and understand a topic, they can proceed on their own time
- comprehend more and learn faster.
2. Trainees don’t have the stress
of someone always watching them.
Feedback and help is on the computer.
Classroom interruptions are eliminated. They are more comfortable and tend to
learn faster.
Removes Learning Barriers

3. More effective
training.
Classroom training can be humdrum and
boring for the employees (and the instructors), so they are not learning as
much. (Forster, 1998).
Teaching the same course, over and over again, is
stressful, non productive and in most cases, boring.
4. Time is saved
on training.
Individuals can learn on their own time,
research has shown that it has taken less time to complete the training
modules than it does to sit in classroom training.
Can reduce training time from 30% - 70%
compared to traditional classroom training.
American Multimedia Association, 1998)
Three times better content retention six months after course completion.
(American Multimedia Association, 1998)
5.
Doesn’t
require scheduling department shutdowns.
Departments or Production Lines do not
have to be shut down for training or incur extra overtime costs.
6. Better
Results.
The scores on the post-tests in CBT have
been higher in most studies, compared to classroom tests.

30% - 50% |
This also resulted in a higher retention
rate when applying the skills on the job. (Lawson, 1999; Leeds, 1999).
