Cost Justification • When evaluating the cost of classroom training compared to an interactive, multimedia software application (CBT), be sure to evaluate the hard dollars versus the soft dollars. • Factors that are important when calculating costs are: - Time spent away from work - How many employees can be trained in an instructional setting - The instructional setting oftentimes determines how many employees can be trained at one time. - Classroom variable costs - trainers, travel expense, lodging, and materials - CBT variable costs - computer and CD-ROM - The more employees trained on CBTs, the lower the cost of the CBT.   Click the "Show Me" button to the left to evaluate your training costs.
