Question

Give four specific examples, where only off-the-job type of training will be used.

Answer 1

1. Where highly expensive machines and equipment are needed: For example, teaching pilots with flight simulators.
2. When the time period involved in training is quite long: Examples include professional courses such as medical or engineering internships.
3. When a large number of persons are to be trained every year: For example, teaching new grads in large IT organizations.
4. Where training needs to be conducted away from the workplace: For example, real-time practice is vital in military or police training camps, but it is risky on actual job sites.
