Mode of Training may be described in terms of two aspects, physical presence and the role of the instructor. 

  1. Role of instructor
    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.
  2. Physical Presence
    1. Remote/ Virtual: The trainee attends the training and uses the content at their own locations.  
    2. In-person: The trainees are present at a training venue in-person.
Mode Of Training Instructor-Led Self-paced
Present in-person

Classroom training led by a trainer

Modular reading at the training centre
Present virtually

Webinars by facilitators

Remote, self-paced

Blended training - Through the NTEP training System, a mix of the above two training aspects may be used to complete the training. Sessions that require hands-on training, especially in cases where demonstrations/ practical exercises are required, need to be conducted in an an instructor led physical mode, while basics and theoretical aspects may be left for remote self-paced learning. The blended approach would leverage the best of virtual/ in-person and instructor-led and self-learning. It would enable the program to make the best utilization of time, money, instructors, venue to give the best possible outcome.
