Why should I take CBT?
CBT is an easy, fun, and powerful tool for learning essential communication, supervisory and safety skills. The built in CBT search function allows you to locate courses on a particular topic. CBT is also convenient and extremely flexible. Depending on your knowledge of the topic being covered, you can choose to take the course from the beging or test yourself with the pretests and just take the parts you are weak in. Also, you can move through the CBT courses at your own pace, because you do not have to complete all of a course in one session. You can bookmark where you stop and pick up at the same place when you start the CBT course again.
If you choose to take the test at the end of your training and score at least 70%, then you can print a certificate online which will found under your My Report. By acquiring certificates, you can add these certified computer skills to your resume or vita. The CBT courses can also be used to meet UT's HR 128 training requirement.
