Subsystem 2: Training Operations

The standardized training content and the curriculum developed in pillar 1 of the Modernized Training System are finally hosted on an online Learning Management System (LMS). This system serves as a platform for scheduling and execution of training. Various stakeholders such as training coordinators, facilitators and trainees interact with each other to manage and complete the above training process.

The training operation component of the modernized training system details out how the training should be conducted using the LMS and provides tools and methods for the end-to-end execution. This section is described further under these headings.

Training may either be conducted virtually or in-Person. The various training modalities could be:

  1. Instructor-led learning - The trainer, using the standardized content available, explains the concepts mentioned therein. They will emphasize the necessary aspects and may demonstrate the processes/ equipment.
  2. Self-learning - Trainees using the standardized content may read/ consume it and learn the related concept.

Blended training - In the modernized training, a mix of the above two training methods and a combination of virtual and in-person modalities will be used to complete the training of a trainee. This would leverage the best of virtual/ in-person and instructor-led and self-learning. This would also include demonstrations/ practical exercises. Sessions which require hands-on training will be conducted only in a physical setting. For virtual sessions, the trainees will be going through the online content, and attempt quizzes after each chapter. An instructor-led session may be conducted for each module. This will help the trainees for better clarification of contents and to address the queries and doubts of the training participants.
