Employee Training and Development

Start with training methods

A useful starting point is the mind map titled Training that describes on-the-job training as taking place while employees work. Another Training mind map brings together induction, on-the-job and off-the-job training, with descriptions, advantages and disadvantages. Looking at these maps in turn gives you a way to identify each method before comparing them.

For a different format, the Training flashcards cover on-the-job and off-the-job training and their advantages and disadvantages. Use the prompts to check what you remember from the maps, then return to a map when you want to review a description.

Connect training and development

The Training and Pay flashcards bring training and pay together. They include prompts on induction and ways employees can be paid, including commission and overtime. The Training and Development Exam Cards include questions about training and development aims and definitions. These decks offer different starting points depending on whether you want to study methods, pay or development aims.

This topic is one section of the wider unit. Its listed resources connect training methods with staff pay and development aims, so they can help you study those connections within the unit.

Use the quiz and maps together

The IGCSE Business - Training quiz offers a way to practice after studying a map. Start with the map covering induction, on-the-job and off-the-job training, then take the quiz. You can return to the map to go over the methods again and use the flashcards for further practice.

The page is mostly aimed at secondary-level study, and the IGCSE quiz is a specific option for students preparing for that exam. Teachers can also browse the maps and flashcards when looking for material on training methods.

Choose a mind map to begin, then see how the quiz fits into your study routine.
