Computer Based Interactive Training (CBIT™)

Computer-Based Interactive Training significantly reduces learning curves
while enhancing comprehension and retention

TFD Group’s Computer-Based Interactive Training (CBIT) software is the ideal basic education or continuing education tool. CBIT significantly reduces the beginning student’s learning curve by enhancing both comprehension and retention, while also supporting the continuing education of the more experienced operator or maintainer. Our techniques ensure continuity of traditional classroom-style instruction, on-the job training, or refresher training for any program structure or methodology. Lessons are custom designed to user specifications and can be tailored to meet virtually any instructional requirements. All lessons are developed using professional, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) authoring software.

Features and Benefits

CBIT lessons can be linked to any class of Electronic Technical Manual or Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (ETM / IETM™)
allowing for a unique, on-demand training situation and an undeniable end-user troubleshooting and maintenance advantage.
TFD Group’s CBIT has no license or run-time fees.
TFD Group offers optional sustainment training enabling the owner to update and maintain the lesson modules within the workplace without continuing contractor intervention.
