Because it uses sight and sound, learning is faster and easier. The trainee gets immediate feedback on their learning and can track their own progress. Supervisors and trainers can easily track the trainee's progress either on the disk or on hard copy. The trainees like the interactive nature of the course which helps maintain concentration and is more interesting and fun than either classroom or learning from a training manual. It delivers training in a private, safe, quiet and non-threatening environment.
Training is delivered in a consistent and reliable way to every trainee.
There is no variation in quality or content as there can be with classroom training. By using a computer for undertaking training, trainees are less likely to feel threatened by computer technology in other areas or in the future if they need to use a computer. The computers the course runs on can be used for other applications. Classroom or paper based modules would be useless for them. Elephants, computers and packing machines.
