What training is carried out off-site, requiring external trainers and equipment?

• A. On-the-job training
• B. Off-the-job training
• C. Coaching
• D. E-learning

Answer: (B)

Off-the-job training is training delivered away from the employee’s normal place of work, often arranged with external providers and using equipment or facilities not available on the job. This type of training is designed to develop skills or knowledge beyond what the worker uses in their daily tasks, and it typically involves external trainers and dedicated venues or equipment. By contrast, on-the-job training happens at the workplace with the employee learning while performing tasks using the company’s tools, coaching is usually one-to-one guidance within the job context, and e-learning is online instruction that may not involve external trainers or specialized equipment. So training conducted off-site with external trainers and equipment fits off-the-job training.
