Computer based training or CBT training is a type of elearning, where content is delivered to the learners using CDs and DVDs and the primary source of delivery is a computer.

It can be used for teaching any subject or topic though CBT training is very effective for learning computer applications, as learners can practice them while learning. So, one can learn basics of Microsoft Excel or any other application like Photoshop or Word. There is an extensive range of subjects and topics available in this format today.

If you are like a lot of people you can barely recall what the world was like before computers were in every office and every home. The world is much different than it was 30 years ago because of computer and one of the benefits of all of the computers is that they have made training for a wide variety of things a lot easier. The history of computer training is a history that has been evolving since the 1980’s and continues to evolve to the current day in new and exciting ways.

Computer training courses have become the last refuge of the jobless. Unemployment has been rising at an unprecedented rate. If you look at the newspapers, you will feel like there are no job openings coming up in the near future: economic recession, downsizing, outsourcing, and off-shoring is all that newspapers are full of. Because of all this, many people are being forced to think about a career change.

Research shows that as much as 13% of training is accounted for by online training methods. This is another trend noticed in computer training methodologies these days. Read on to know some of the other trends that has hit this segment.

Delivery modes transforming

New computer technology comes out continuously. As a computer consultant you probably want to keep up with all the new computer technology that comes along. You’re most likely in love with technology – always looking for a new intrusion protection product to play with or another border-gateway protocol. What you have to realize is that your small business clients aren’t experimenting with new computer technology and so you shouldn’t be wasting your time investigating it.

New Computer Technology Distractions

Computer training services are where a student learns by executing special training programs on a computer relating to their occupation. Computer training is especially effective for training people to use computer applications because the program can be integrated with the applications so that students can practice using the application as they learn.

Historically, computer training growth has been hampered by the enormous resources required: human resources to create a computer training program, and hardware resources needed to run it. However, the increase in PC computing power, and especially the growing prevalence of computers equipped with CD-ROMs, is making computer training a more viable option for corporations and individuals alike. Many PC applications now come with some modest form of computer training, often called a tutorial.

            Computer technology training is provided in several forms. Computer technology training is part of several school programs. In schools however, advanced computer technology training is seldom provided. What is provided, rather, is a basic training to be able to use some features of a computer like word-processing, being able to surf the internet, sending an email, etc. For more advanced computer technology training like programming in languages like Java and C or web page designing, one usually enrolls for a higher course in colleges and universities or other institutions like computer training centers. In addition, if one has a basic knowledge of computers, one can acquire specialized skills from researching through the internet. Special software, available for download online (either paid or free), and software available on CDs and DVDs also provide computer training. But that is not a conventional method of advanced computer technology training. Such advanced training is provided through full time courses at colleges and is usually termed computer science or computer engineering.

            Computer training schools or computer training centers are one of the largest means of imparting computer literacy. The basic ability to use some features of a computer like typing out a simple letter in a word processor or being able to send an email and access the internet is generally considered as ‘computer literacy’. Computer literacy and computer training schools have only taken off since the mid 1990s. Before that, computers were prohibitively expensive for most individuals.
