Computer-Based Training (CBT) Advantages

CBT has many great advantages, which are described for you below. Even more importantly, GoldenQuest can enhance these advantages many-fold by incorporating memory-retention techniques into the training. Following the list, we'll give you an opportunity to learn more about this.

First, here are some of the advantages CBT can bring you:

Improved efficiencies in the development and delivery of training:

Once a training template is created, it's easier to develop subsequent training
It's easier to update course material
There is broader and faster distribution to all employees using CD ROM or a network

Improved learning experience. CBT:

Allows employees to learn at a pace comfortable for them
Allows users to select only needed content
Provides for unlimited repetition until mastery is achieved
Provides a comfortable learning environment -- free from peer pressure
Provides a greater sense of personal accomplishment, which can get lost in a classroom environment
Provides for a personalized learning approach using branching techniques
Provides consistent, quality information to every employee, eliminating the differences between presentations from multiple instructors
Provides higher content retention
Provides continuous learner participation; trainees are not waiting for others to catch up, or involved in those parts of training not applicable to their job
Provides quicker mastery of subject matter

Reduced expenses. You can:

Eliminate travel expenses for trainers (travel, meals, accommodations, etc.)
Eliminate travel expenses involved in sending employees to other locations for training
Reduce or eliminate expenses involved in hiring consultants to facilitate classroom training
Reduce or eliminate expense for third party courses which can be too generic
Reduce or eliminate costs of maintaining a Training department (salaries, benefits, space, equipment, special training-related equipment)

Reduced inconveniences (all of which cost money). You can:

Reduce lost productivity and inconveniences incurred while employees attend courses
Eliminate special scheduling to accommodate trainers and employees
Eliminate lost opportunities for those not available on the scheduled training day, including new hires, absentees, and those with other schedule conflicts
Move from limited to unlimited concurrent participation -- everyone can be trained in a short period of time
Have employees take CBT anytime
Have employees take CBT anywhere: work, home or on the road -- in between sales calls or other business events

Improved post-training activities:

Easily collect test scores for management review
Update training records automatically

Improved level of job performance:

Better trained employees improve productivity
Improved productivity means better and faster results in any area of business

Improved performance means increased profits:

Decreased costs means increased profits
A better trained sales force means increased sales
Better trained customer service personnel means happier customers -- happier customers buy more of your products/services
Better trained employees reduce errors (which cost money)

The next evolution of training blends memory-retention techniques with self-paced computer-based training.
