= learning program that is supplied on a data carrier (CD/DVD/USB stick) and does not include online services

A CBT is a local system that must be installed on each end device before use.

Advantages:

• Greater freedom in programming because data volumes are not limited
• Applications are more stable because there are no loading times
• Greater data security because the computer works offline

Disadvantages:

• Inflexible access because the software CD or the computer on which the CBT is installed is required
• Insufficient or no online communication with other users or supervisors

The online expansion of CBT is web based training (WBT), which is stored on a server and can be worked through online.
