Don't get me wrong. I was not belittling your statement. I know where you are coming from. Are there those indididuals who really do not want to be there? Most certainly however those people usually get fired after I fail them for not paying attention and thereby failing the course. Companies are shelling out good money for proper training, and in my case, they rely on me to provide the proper training, and report on how there staff performed in a sincere manner. Any disruptive staff, and they are forewarned at the start of the class by me, can very well lose their jobs if they do not show any consideration into the overall success of the session.
Fortunately, I do not run into that issue, not recently anyhow. I simply do not believe in online training for forklift operators. I do not train WHIMS, waste hazard, but maybe whims can be trained online. Safety is safety. We all want to go home smiling at the end of the day. Maybe the decision makers would go home smiling if they saved the company a few hundred dollars by providing online training but once someone gets injured or killed, the smile will be wiped off their faces in a sudden hurry.
