Objective

A large number of railway operators are now investing in technology based training programmes. The use of Technology-Based Training methods in the rail industry has not necessarily been matched by an understanding of how to best deploy simulation, with a variety of forms of simulation purchased and differing philosophies on their use. This masterclass will help you to effectively understand and implement these initiatives into your training programmes and help in
maximising and improving the productivity of your workforce.

This masterclass will cover amongst other things:

• Exploring computer based training and assessment methodologies
• Helping you to improve the efficiency of your training processes and analysing what these processes include
• Improving your ability to apply correct staff development procedures
