1. A system for selecting training materials comprising:
- a host server having a central processing unit (CPU) for performing computing operations, a storage device for storing data representative of a plurality of skill requirements, skill levels and training products respective to said skill requirements and skill levels, and an input device operable to receive data representative of a desired skill level for a student and an actual skill level for said student;
said CPU operable to map said desired and actual skills levels of said student to said skill requirements and said training products to determine which of said training products are suitable for said student in order for said student to achieve said desired skill level; and
, said host server further having an output device for outputting said suitable training products;
wherein said data representative of said training products includes metrics associated with each of said training products, said metrics including an entry skill level and an exit skill level for each of said products.

6. A method for selecting a training product comprising:
-
receiving data representing a required skill for a student;
receiving data representing actual skill in relation to said required skill for said student;
outputting a null result if said actual skill match or exceed said required skill; and
determining at least one required training product for improving said actual skill if said actual skill is less than said required skill and outputting said determined training product;
wherein said actual skill is determined by receiving a subjective assessment measurement and an objective assessment measurement and by applying a predefined weighting to said measurements. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for determining an actual skill level of a student comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first set of data representative of a self-assessment of said actual skill level by said student;
receiving a second set of data representative of an assessment of said actual skill level by an individual other than said student;
receiving a third set of data representative of results from a test relevant to assessing said skill level, said test having been administered to said student;
applying a preselected weighting to each of said received sets of data;
performing an operation to combine each of said weighted sets of data and generating a fourth set of data representing a determined actual skill level based on said combination; and
,outputting said fourth set of data. - View Dependent Claims (19)
