Cascade training

Involves sharing training where one person receives official training and shares their finding with their colleagues. 

Books and Manuals

For the old fashioned employee books and manuals can provide training they are informal and cheap; plus they are flexible. You can train whenever you are available. 

One to one training

Is a very effective method that provides full clarification and is faster. However it is very expensive 

Lecture style training

Structured training is available which is very informative but some find it hard to concentrate and may not be able to provide written work at the end of the course which is often necessary. 

CBT

Is a popular method because it allows the employee to work at their own pace, it can be built into the working day easily and it can provide feedback to the user. EASY TO USE, CAN BE BOUGHT IN BULK MAKING IT CHEAPER

Conclusion

Overall, CBT is the most effective as it allows users to work at their own pace and can be built into the working day unlike all the others apart from books and manuals which can be boring and ineffective. As technology is changing they may also be out of date.
