TRAINING METHODOLOGY ADOPTED IN SIMULATOR
The object of Indian Railway as transport organisation is to move people & goods safely, on time and at the total lowest cost. To fulfill this object, Loco Pilots are encouraged to think of Simulator facility as a 'temple' where people gather and discuss train-driving technique in an environment, which encourages sharing of experiences, and also to adopt the best practices for achieving maximum efficiency. The methodology adopted in this centre is the patented Strategy Based Learning System ( SBL ® ) which was handed over along with the simulator by the AusAid. It differs vastly from the traditional training methods. In SBL ® every participant learns by way of self realization and discussion with cotrainees and Instructors and the Instructors are very friendly with the trainees where as in traditional training methods knowledge is pumped to the trainees without creating an interest in trainees to accept the knowledge.
