ITPEC IP October 2021 Question 69
Which of the following is a method of education and training by which the techniques and knowledge required for working are mastered through daily work experience?
Explanation
OJT (on-the-job training) — employees learn the skills and knowledge for their job through daily work, taught by superiors and senior colleagues.
In OJT the learner does real work while an experienced person instructs and corrects them, so what is learned applies directly to the job. The other options are forms of education that take place outside daily work, or plans for it.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) CDP — a career development program: a long-term plan of assignments and training for an employee's career, not a way of learning through daily work
- •(b) e-learning — study through computers and networks, usually away from the actual work
- •(c) Off-JT — off-the-job training: seminars, classroom courses and outside training held apart from daily work
Key rule: OJT trains in the course of real work; Off-JT (including most e-learning) trains away from it; CDP plans a whole career.
