You probably encourage your staff to learn from one another. Companies frequently have coaching or mentoring programs in place. On-the-job training is also a classical training delivery approach, dating back to the middle ages, when apprenticeship was dominant as a learning form, and little formal training existed.

Often one of the most popular training delivery vehicles, OTJ training is frequently confused with informal office discussions, roundtable exchanges and brainstorming sessions.

It is sometimes difficult to precisely define what makes up OTJ training. Frequently your coach, mentor, or trainer has a checklist of items which they must demonstrate to the learner, and validate learner's comprehension. Alternatively, informal styles consist of asking a learner to repeat an activity until the coach, mentor, or trainer is satisfied with the learner's performance.
