CBT

The Computer Based Training (CBT) icon opens a screen to define the path to a computer based training course location. This code is then entered into the Course/Competency record of the CBT. This can be either an internally located file or an external file.

Computer Based Training classes are courses that can be taken online using a computer. When successfully completed, these CBT classes fulfill the requirement of the course. Some courses can be taken through either a traditional class or as a CBT class. When a class is offered as a computer based training class, the CBT icon is displayed.
