Incorporate eLearning into courses
The way people prefer to learn is evolving. There are differences between age groups and genders. Individuals will also tend to have a particular learning style. For instance, some respond better to visual learning, and some need to learn by experience.
Many younger candidates will expect their operator training course to incorporate eLearning. For Instructors, eLearning can give the flexibility for training to take place outside the classroom. Usually, instructor time is used for sharing information and introducing ideas. This leaves little time for candidates to explore the ideas and practice applying the knowledge. By giving candidates the chance to learn key theory content via self-paced eLearning before the course, Instructors can use their time with candidates to ensure that knowledge is applied effectively. Candidates can have plenty of practice time under instructor supervision, instead of using instructor expertise to introduce basic subjects. This increases operator competence and safety.
RTITB supports this growing demand. RTITB Instructors have access to a wide range of lift truck eLearning courses. This includes eTruck UK. This platform takes the theory part of forklift and reach truck novice and refresher training completely online.
