Common methods of off-the-job training include:

- Distance learning / evening classes
- Block release courses - which may involve several weeks at a local college
- Sandwich courses - where the employee spends a longer period of time at college (e.g. six months) before returning to work
- Sponsored courses in higher education
- Self-study, computer-based training
The main advantages and disadvantages of this form of training can be summarised as follows:
