This document discusses different training techniques used to increase employees' knowledge and skills. It describes vestibule training, where a training center duplicates actual job conditions to provide hands-on experience. Lecture training involves an expert conveying information to a group through talking and visual aids. Job rotation training moves employees through different jobs to broaden their knowledge. Demonstration training has trainers show tasks and allow trainees to practice the skills. Each technique has merits like providing real experience, but also demands resources like time, money or potential frustration for complex skills.
2. WHAT IS TRAINING ?

and skill of an employee for doing a particular
job.

3. TECHNIQUES OF TRAINING
Class room training or off-job-training :-
VESTIBULE TRAINING TRAINING BY LECTURE
JOB ROTATION TRAINING DEMONSTRATING TRAINING
4. VESTIBULE TRAINING
In this method a training centre called VESTIBULE
is set up and actual job conditions are duplicated in it.
Expert trainers are employed to provide training with
the help of equipment and machines which are identical
with those used at the worked place. This method of
training is used primarily when large number of
employees must be trained quickly as needed as a result
of expansion of business.
5. MERITS AND DEMERITS OF VESTIBULE
MERITS
Employees get an
opportunity to experience
real job experience.
A smart way of learning
new skills.
A source of developing a
comfort level in
employees towards their
jobs.
DEMERITS
Actual duplication of
heavy machines in not
possible.
Time consuming.
Costly process
6. TRAINING BY LECTURE
When one person conveys information to a group by
talking to them, with or without the use of visual aids, it
is called as lecture.
A formal lecture does not allow participation by the
audience, and there is little or no interaction (or
feedback) between the speaker and listeners.
A lecture is suitable for large groups when interaction
is not practical.
Lectures are appropriate when the material has little
relevance to personal experience (ex. Technical theory).
7. MERITS AND DEMERITS OF LECTURE
MERITS
lectures are an efficient use
of time.
Lectures allow experts to
share information with large
groups.
The material in a lecture is
consistent and listeners are
not sidetracked by
comments/ question from the
audience.
DEMERITS
The lecture cannot be sure
their message was correctly
received by the audience,
unless a separate discussion
period is used for follow up.
The successful transfer of
information is completely
dependent upon the skills of
the lecturer (essentially it is
one way communication).
8. JOB ROTATION TRAINING
Job rotation involves moving an employee through a
series of jobs, so that he can get a good feel for the
tasks that are associated with different jobs. It is
usually used in training for supervisory positions. It
represents an excellent method for broadening the
manager or potential manager and of turning
specialists into generalists.
9. MERITS AND DEMERITS OF JOB ROTATION
MERITS
Provides an opportunity
to broader ones
knowledge.
Avoids fraudulent
Increase satisfaction
Helps individual explore
their interests.
DEMERITS
Frequent interruption
Staff members have fear
of performing different
tasks effectively.
10. DEMONSTRATION TRAINING
When a trainer has the audience actually perform a
task by showing and explaining how to do it, it is called
demonstration.
During a demonstration, the audience is encouraged to
ask questions and request as they try to do the task by
themselves.
The demonstration method is effective when teaching
skills.
Demonstrations are best for small groups, or when
adequate staff is available to work with a large group.
11. MERITS AND DEMERITS OF DEMONSTRATION
MERITS
Demonstrations provide
a hands-on-experience
(hear, see, do).
Participants have plenty
of interaction with
trainers and everyone is
allowed to progress at
their own pace as they
master the skill.
DEMERITS
It is important to insure
every participant has an
opportunity to master the
skill being taught.
Hands-on activities can
be a potential source of
frustration, especially in
the case of complex
skills.
