Solution

Under off-the-job training methods, employees are required to leave their workplace and concentrate their entire time towards the training objectives. Methods of off-the-job training are as follows :
(i) Classroom lectures/conferences: Classroom lectures/ conferences aim at revising and revisiting theoretical knowledge using the latest information. Techniques are also communicated through these lectures and conferences.
(ii) Vestibule training: Vestibule training is also called "near the job training". In this training method, the simulated set-up is established, proximate to the main production plant, wherein the technical staff learns how to operate the tools and machinery that may be exactly similar, to what they will be using at the actual work floor.
(iii) Films/Documentaries: Visual depictions of changes in industry or examples on management tools like team building exercises can be easily communicated through films and documentaries.
(iv) Computer modeling: Trainees are trained using a computer to improve their skills and knowledge especially for high risk or situations associated with high costs.
