CBT Glossary Definition

CBT stands for computer-based training: instruction or learning delivered through computer software, web modules, simulations, or other digital systems.

In learning and development work, CBT is used for self-paced instruction, compliance training, product training, and practice activities that do not require a live instructor at every step.

For glossary purposes, CBT is best treated as an instructional-design and training-delivery term. It should receive a documentation secondary category when the record concerns training materials, course content, job aids, or learner-facing instructions.
