COURSE OVERVIEW:

On-the-job training is the single most used (and misused) of all approaches to training. It happens whenever an experienced person shows an inexperienced person how to do a job. Sound familiar? It should because just about everyone who has ever held a job has been exposed to on-the-job training in one form or another.

Hands-on training is one method educational systems and businesses alike use to help teach people to learn a certain task. It provides real-world experience by allowing the trainee to get his/ her hands directly on whatever he/ she is learning, creating a sense of empowerment.

This training tool can be more effective than training provided in the traditional classroom setting. Hands-on training not only allows the person being trained to learn about the tasks that need to be completed, but also gives him/ her the opportunity to perform the task simultaneously. Ideally, a trainer is available to work with the trainee to provide guidance rather than leaving the trainee on his/ her own to figure out what needs to be done.

Hands-on training provides real-life applications that make it easier to understand what is being taught because the people learning can see it first-hand rather than just hear about it in a lecture. This means the skill is more likely to stick with them. For some, the hands-on experience meaning is much easier than listening to a lecture in a classroom, which may cause trainees to tune out.

Such training boosts productivity because the trainee is working while learning, and it boosts the trainees' confidence because they have a trainer available to ask questions of if they are unclear about something.
