The following work gives a short introduction in experiential training. Experiential training is a whole body of training methods that are used to develop behavioral skills and physical abilities. Role-playing, equipmentsimulations, games, on the job training, behavioral modeling, case analysis and computer based training are some of the experiential training methods that can be used to deliver a training session. It simply means that learning and development are achieved through personally determined experience and involvement rather on received teaching or training, usually in a group through observation, listening, study of theory or hypothesis, or some other transfer of skills and knowledge.
