The Several Methods of Training!

Training is an important aspect of the education system.
Though self learning also solves the purpose in many cases; however training system will never lose significance due to its various benefits.
The success of a training session is judged on the basis of results that come out in terms of real learning and applicability.
Merely talking about the subject matter does not help the trainees to gain much.

Before talking about the several techniques of effective training, it is critical to know about its various methods.

We'll talk about the common ones in a little detail.
The most popular method of training is a classroom session. It is often considered that this is also the most effective way to train. A lot of students prefer this style of training owing to its various benefits.

The primary one in the list is physical presence of both parties - something that ensures two way communication. With this advantage, the positive impact of training becomes more certain.

Classroom training also increases the scope for interaction. Students can clear doubts and ask questions easily as compared to other methods. It's easy for instructors to check the understanding of trainees while doing a classroom session. This means that you are able to predict at least some impact of the session during the class itself. On-the-job training is another method of imparting knowledge. This method too is a highly preferred one as it gives us the opportunity to experience practical scenarios.
Some people consider this training style more effective due to the increased exposure it offers.
When students get to implement solutions in live scenarios, they feel more confident than what they would have understood theoretically. Web-based training comes next in the list.

This is another recommended way to train when you have audience with time or distance constraints. Webinars are highly famous now-a-days as they facilitate easy flow of information with just a simple Internet connection.
It lets users study from home / office or any place of their convenience.
This method helps in saving both time and money; and thereby caters to large number of audience.

Seminars and conferences are another popular way of disseminating knowledge.

Such kind of sessions prove more useful when the audience is huge.

An element of interaction persists in this style of training too as the presenter seeks inputs from the participants.
Audience also get a chance of raising queries, though the scope to do this is lesser than classroom training. One-to-one training One-to-one training will not be counted as a training method, it will instead be considered as a training style.
This style can be adapted both in classroom and web-based sessions.

With one instructor and one student, the impact of the session increases manifold.
The student can request for a tweaked training as per his / her requirement, and the trainer can provide undivided attention to the candidate.

As there are multiple ways of doing the same thing, each has its own pros and cons. It is thus seen that individuals and groups adopt techniques that most suit them.

Which is anyways the best and wisest thing to do always!
