On The Job Training

On The Job Training

1. A disadvantage of on the job training is that there may be distractions in the workplace eg. answering telephones, which might lessen the effectiveness of the training, which could lead to the training that was supposed to take place not being fully completed and/or completed the the best standard.

2. An advantage of on the job training is that it is cheaper to carry out than off the job training which means that the business does not need to invest money into you getting trained to a high standard by an outside agency as you can do this in the workplace.

3. A disadvantage of on the job training is that the training may not be certified and it may not be deemed as a qualification as there is no evidence on paper. This means that although you may have the correct training future employers will not believe that you have actually undergone training on that specific field.

4. An advantage of on the job training is that the training is very relevant and practical, dealing with the day to day requirements of the job which means that you are trained in every thing specifically for that certain job, not everything to do with that specific field of work eg. marketing.

5. An advantage of on the job training is that employees are not taken away from their jobs so they can still be productive and earn money. This means that the employer doesn't loose their employees for a day meaning more work can be done, and the employee gets trained while still making a disposable income.

6. A disadvantage of on the job training is that employees may pick up bad habits from the person who is training them as they are not a professional trainer, which means that they will follow in the bad habits and maybe make errors in their work eg. secretary work
