It is our belief that computer based training
(CBT) will become the primary means of training in the 21st
century, due to its increased efficiency and companies dwindling
training resources. In a time when companies are asking their
employees to "do more with less", CBT is the perfect
way to effectively train all of your employees without spending
days in the training room.
In order to be effective, CBT must meet
the following criteria:
- Compliant - Regulators
require that training meet the intent of the governing
regulation.
- Facility specific - Generic
safety training often does not provide enough pertinent
information regarding the employee's worksite. OSHA
requires that you train your employees on the hazards present
at your facility. Generic CBT courses often do not provide
enough specific information.
- Entertaining - To be effective,
you must keep your trainees attention. There is no better
way to do this than by adding your own videos and photographs
to the training.
- Customizable - To
satisfy government regulations and to increase the effectiveness
of the training, you need to be able to provide site-specific
conditions and information.

CBT uses the computer to create, deploy
and manage training information. By using computers
linked to the internet or an Intranet, a company can deliver
high quality, cost-effective training programs anywhere in
the world.
CBT utilizes interactive and multimedia
technology to enhance a training program. It allows users
to navigate through the material, respond to questions, listen
to sounds, watch a video, view special graphics and explore
hyperlinks to related topics. CBT is highly customizable
and flexible. You can certify understanding using built in
quizzes.

Reduced Cost
Companies can train remote
employees without the added expense of travel, hotel and car.
There is no cost associated with paying a specialized instructor.
Conference rooms or remote locations do not have to be reserved
for numerous people or multiple training sessions. Employee's
do not have to come to training on their off hours, thus reducing
overtime expenses.
Enhanced Efficiency
Existing literature or
marketing literature can be reused and organized in one location,
where employees can access it from anywhere in the world.
Training can updated almost instantly from a central location.
The problem of per diem employees, weekend only staff, volunteers
and physicians is eliminated.
Customizable and Flexible
Programs
can be tailored to meet specific company objectives and regulatory
compliance, from job specific competencies to OSHA Hazard
Communication.
Certify Understanding
Since employees learn at
their own pace, there is an increase in retention of the material
presented and a decrease in the amount of learning time. Through
computer based testing, companies can certify that their employees
have an understanding of the industry or company requirements.
Build on your Investment
Organizations spend thousands
of dollars each year maintaining computer systems, networks,
peripherals, etc. Computer based training utilizes more fully
the capabilities of the computer to deliver more than just
internal communications. Organizations can deliver training
and information to anyone, at any time, at any location in
the world.

While CBT satisfies most training requirements,
there are still situations in which instructor-led training
is a necessity (i.e. fit testing of respirators, hands-on
portion of Hazwoper). CBT will not replace instructor led
training, but it can greatly reduce the amount of time required
to be spend in the classroom. When you need assistance with
the face to face or hand-on training, our professionals are
experienced and adept trainers, with over 20 years training
experience.
