Formal, job-related training includes courses or programs related to a worker's current or future job. These courses and programs have a structured plan whereby a student, led by a teacher or trainer, follows a planned program and receives some form of formal recognition upon completion, such as a certificate, diploma or degree.
Employer-supported formal job-related training includes courses or programs related to a worker's current or future job for which an employer have done any of a range of activities, including such things as providing the training, paying for the training (either directly or by reimbursing an employee), allowing the trainee to work a flexible schedule to accommodate training, or providing transportation to or from the training location. These courses and programs have a structured plan whereby a student, led by a teacher or trainer, follows a planned program and receives some form of formal recognition upon completion, such as a certificate, diploma or degree.
Self-directed learning is training that involves little or no reliance on pre-determined guidelines for its organization, delivery or assessment, i.e. it does not lead to any formal qualification or certification. It must be undertaken by the participant with specific intention of developing job-related skills or knowledge.
