    This question is from Kaplan
    You have been asked to comment on the most effective approach for training accounts staff in the use of new payroll system . Which of the following arguments would you put forward for choosing an on the job approach ?
    1) ability of learner to concentrate on learning process
    2) risk of errors
    3) relevance to the informal customs and practices of the department
    4) application of learned skills to job

    I thought answer should be risk of error because in on the job training there is risk of error and application of learned skills to job is its advantage then why the answer is (4)in the kit ain’t 2 should be the argument that on job training will cause risk of error . Can you please clear my confusion

    Learning a new accounting system on the job will run tge risk of making errors. That is a good reason NOT to train on the job: do it in a classroom where no damage will be done.

    So ain’t risk of error should be the argument
    How can application of learned skills to the job be an argument ?

    I think I am not able to understand the question correct . Is argument Here in a positive sense of choosing on the job ??….that why on the job training approach should be chose ? I thought you have to put forward argument that why on the job training should not be chosen

    It is asking why it would be a good idea to to on the job training. The risk of error is not an argument for on the job training.
