Interactive Computer Based Training

Interactive CBT is best known as a medium for presenting training directly in the workplace, using personal computers. The subject matter of a CBT program can be anything that can be communicated using the wide range of text, graphics, colour, sound, animation and video combined with narration and questioning techniques.

Each CBT program provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to classroom training allowing the user to study at their own pace when it is convenient. This means that new skills can be acquired in a timeframe that does not conflict with work schedules. Other advantages are:

• Retention of information is greater
• Quality and consistency of training material is maintained throughout
• Generates an interactive and visually stimulating learning process
• Skills can be taught and refreshed whenever needed
• Programs can easily be updated

Good training is a fundamental building block of any successful organisation and Videotel can assist by offering a catalogue of training programs:

• Distance Learning Courses
• DVD/videos with workbooks
• Interactive CBTs
• Web-deliverable programs

The need for management to record all aspects of training has changed from advisory to mandatory. We also offer two sophisticated systems that electronically gather training records to a centralised database.
