Workers learn their work on the equipment, but the training is conducted away from the actual place of work. Which method of training is explained here?

Correct option is C

The method described is Vestibule Training, a type of off-the-job training in which workers learn to operate equipment similar to that used at the workplace, but the training takes place at a separate training centre and not on the actual job site.
This method is used when:
· The machinery is too expensive to risk with untrained workers,
· Training on actual equipment may disrupt production,
· Workers need hands-on practice without pressure,
· Safety risks must be minimized.
Vestibule training ensures that employees become fully proficient before entering the actual workplace. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Vestibule Training.
