the biggest disadvantage of this method. Less interactive this method do not give assurance
employees involvement. It is hard to find out whether their trainees are engaging with them or

not. In the computer based training they do not know that their employees are getting proper
knowledge or not is the information flow effectively because there is no face to face
communication between trainer and trainee. On the job training this particular method is very
popular because in this method employee can learn new skills by the training along with the job.

without task for a trainee. There is a possibility of errors in this method. Trainer assumes that the
task has been cleared to the trainee and he will be finish this and on the trainee side he might be
hesitate to question again and again and this will end up in increases errors. Off the job training
this method is define as the training which the employees can take away from their organisation
