Classroom / Instructor Led Training features:
- Study away from the office at another location with time set aside dedicated to learning a new course (and in some cases, for certification, sitting of an exam)
- Costs are more expensive as it involves the course fees, travel, accommodation and other expenses
- Access to a trainer for the duration of the course (and sometimes for a limited period after the course)
- Access to other students during the course and as a potential networking group after the course
So, classroom training is the option to choose if you have the ability to be away from the office and have no budget constraints.

Computer Based Training (CBT) features:
- Individuals can study at their own time and pace thereby learning at a rate that they are comfortable with
- Lower costs – CBT is much more cost effective than classroom training. Multi-user option allow a company to train more than one person with the same budget or less than sending on a classroom course
- CBT courses combine instructor led videos with examples through simulations, test questions and interactive sections thereby using more than one learning method which greatly enhances both the student's interest and retention level
- Basically, computer based training combines the “best bits of classroom training” such as the video clips of instructor sessions with the “best bits of reference material” such as technical information and practice questions to provide a great all round training experience which is beneficial to both student and employer at the best price available.

If you cannot decide between the two most popular ways to train, then why not choose a blended learning option – a bit of both. Take part of your course as a classroom course and part as a self study course.
In conclusion, the choice of classroom training versus computer based training depends on cost, leave availability and the personal training style preference of the student.
