Corporations and government agencies are increasingly using computer-based training (CBT) to train new employees, and to provide compliance and sustainment training of their workforce. CBT is instructional content delivered by computer in which the learner has no interaction with other learners, or with an instructor. The corporate and government workforce is aging. This study attempted to determine whether age and education have an impact on employee acceptance of CBT in the workplace, and how CBT compares to traditional classroom learning in learning outcome. The analysis of independent samples t tests revealed that employees who were trained through CBT in entry-level job skills and concepts scored higher in an end-of-course test than did employees who received the same course content in a traditional face-to-face classroom setting. However, the reverse was true for employees who received more advanced, hands-on technical training. The study also revealed there is no significant difference in employee acceptance of CBT for workforce training based on age or education but that employees in general lacked organizational support for CBT in the workplace.
