training is carried out the working is running. PRAN-RFL is giving 6 month on the job training
now. This training is really a effective process played by various well leading company and this
system also played by the PRAN-RFL, but it is also a unavoidable risk because all new staffs can
make a mistake or because a loss to the company, therefore company plays that system when it’s
right to do so. It is effective, when a major leveled employee do a mistake by mistakenly then, for
making an improvement PRAN-RFL company plays that system.

costly which bared by PRAN-RFL, but in may stages of the efficiency of a company or to make
an efficient staff company may play this training. Where any temporary staff may work for the
company with or without wages and this is actually not a job but binding for the staff to be full
time staff, which is also depends on the performance of the staff.

staffs by computers and projectors, this system is so much effective and time saving device for
