Computer Based Training (CBT)

ABOUT

Computer Based Training (CBT) includes any self-training aids provided by ZLC. This can be Slides, Videos, Interactive Software Applications, etc…
These training resources are an effective means to reduce the amount of one-on-one hours needed with instructors and can even act as a supplement or training enhancement during sessions.
CBTs will be assigned by in-processing checklists or assigned by ARTCC Management (including training staff) when necessary.
