Poor new On-Line training

 Poor new On-Line training, brought in as a last-minute pandemic patch.

Recycled horribly ended and recorded videos. Where the Audio Level will constantly change up and down, from section to section so distracting that it's almost impossible to follow the subject matter. Or where the person making the video didn't pay attention to the scaling, and you end up with a 3-inch Square video, in the middle of your 40 inch monitor. Yet LLNL has it in-house video production division. That generates some of the most polished videos, with a production value that is worthy of a luxury car ad. Even the most current videos that were being used during training. We're almost unintelligible and unwatchable. I realize that certain concessions had to be made due to the pandemic. We are tell Rita hands on training classes that should have taken a few hours, we're reduced down to a few minutes. No actual testing of your knowledge was done. Either the instructor would tell everyone the answers. Or you filled out whatever you thought was right and was never given feedback on your answer. The only class that still resembles anything that I would consider training. Was the first aid and CPR, happened to have an excellent instructor. All of the other classes seem to be taught by one of three instructors, and we're a fall safety and entrapment safety class, was supposed to take two and a half hours, was over in less than 20 minutes.

Module that was taught on confined spaces, was a joke. The gas detectors they had in the classroom were all broken and out of calibration. to add insult to injury the cans of specially mixed gas that you were to spray into your 5 gallon Home Depot bucket to simulate and enclosed environment we're empty. Not only did a new hire that had never worked in this field before not learn anything. More senior employees it will retaking the class, in an attempt to help the training only serve to reinforce bad habits. after working there for a few years. it became a parent that LLNL is the definition of government waste. Between the atrocious low quality online training, it was Couples with the inability to actually schedule the Hands-On training, as there was never any slots open, and when they did show up in the system they would be filled immediately. The training coordinator was oblivious to her own job. Having to make constant phone calls requesting for training classes to be scheduled. I felt no safer after completing the entire training program then I did before I started.
