What is self-study training?

Self-study training is the educational process where individuals learn independently, often in terms of their own unique objectives and at their own pace.

Here are some benefits of self-study training:

• It often does not require the learner to be present in an institution.
• It is usually less expensive than group training.

Here is a disadvantage of self-study training:

• Quality control is difficult. You need to develop quality-control mechanisms such as tests, interviews, or performance observations to insure the quality of the training.
